Description
The ALTUS AL 2005 Real Time Multitasking Processor PCB Card 1400-389 G is an industrial automation processor module designed to enhance the processing capability of ALTUS PLC control systems. It operates as a dedicated coprocessor for AL-2002 CPU systems, allowing independent or CPU-assisted execution of complex control programs, communication protocols, and advanced processing tasks.
The AL-2005 integrates a 16-bit Intel 80C186 processor with a preemptive multitasking operating system, enabling multiple application tasks to run simultaneously. It is suitable for applications requiring additional computing performance, such as Modbus communication, Profibus interfaces, adaptive PID control, data processing, and parallel automation functions.
The 1400-389 G PCB version is commonly used as a replacement spare module in existing ALTUS industrial control installations where reliable real-time processing and communication expansion are required.
