1.3 Housings
ControlWave housings (whether base or expansion) are gold irridite-
plated aluminum designed either for wall, DIN rail, or panel-mounting.
They contain the printed circuit board (PCB) backplane that provides
connections for the PSSM, the CPU module, any ECOMs, and any I/O
modules.
Base
Three base housings are available:
 3-slot base backplane supports one PSSM, one CPU, and one I/O
module.
 4-slot base backplane supports one PSSM, one CPU, and two I/O
modules.
 8-slot base housing supports one PSSM, one CPU, and up to six I/O
modules.
You can substitute one or two ECOMs for I/O modules in slots 3 and 4
(if present) of the base housing.
Expansion
Three optional expansion housings enable you to add two, four, or
eight I/O modules. However, you cannot install ECOMs in an
expansion housing.
Note: For complete technical details on housings, refer to the
ControlWave Micro technical specification (CWM).
1.4 CPU Module
The CPU (central processing unit) module houses the multi-layer PCB,
which contains the ControlWave Micro CPU, I/O monitor/control,
memory, and communication functions.
The CPU module includes:
 Sharp LH7A400 System-on-Chip ARM microprocessor with 32-bit
ARM9TDMI Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) core,
operating at 1.8V with a system clock speed of 33 MHz and 150
MHz.
 one or two RS-232 communication ports,
 one RS-485 communication port
 zero, one, or two 10/100baseT Ethernet ports
 2 MB of battery backed Static RAM (SRAM),
 64MB of Synchronous Dynamic RAM (SDRAM),
 512KB boot/downloader Flash,
 16MB simultaneous read/write Flash memory
 transmit (TX) and receive (RX) LEDs for each communication port
 configuration DIP switches (described in Chapter 2.)
