Controller S320

What is new about the Controller S320?


* New CPU: The Controller S320 is now equipped with an improved signal processor TMS320C32 that uses twice the clock frequency. Calculations can be done with about twice the speed compared to the old version!
* Watchdog: A watchdog device can restart the Controller S320 if a program doesn't work correctly because of software or hardware failures.
* More main memory: The new CPU board features 2MB static RAM (old version: 256/512KB). This makes it possible to run larger programs and work with more data.
* More battery backed RAM: The size of the battery backed RAM has been increased from 50 bytes to about 8 kilo bytes. Battery backed RAM may be used to store data that survives a cold reboot of the controller.
* More flash ROM: 4MB flash ROM (old hardware: 512KB or 1MB resp.) can be used to store programs and data permanently.
* File system: Part of the flash ROM is organized as a file system similar to a hard disk. Data can be stored and retrieved by name from either SPELL programs or from the terminal program.
* Network: The Controller is now equipped with an ethernet interface that can be used to talk to other hosts in a LAN. An integrated TCP/IP stack allows even connecting the controller to the internet.
* Web server: The operating system of the Controller S320 contains a small embedded web server that can be used to access documents and data from the outside. Web documents can be static or generated dynamically by SPELL programs.
