4.3 RabbitFLEX BL300F Option Specifications
This section lists all of the RabbitFLEX BL300F options, along with basic information and specifications.
4.3.1 Core Module
There are currently two core modules available for the RabbitFLEX BL300F: the PowerCore 3800 and
PowerCore 3810. The table in this section compares the features that differ between these modules. See
the PowerCore FLEX User’s Manual for more information about these core modules.
As you can see from the information in Table 4-2, the PowerCore 3800 is faster, can communicate on a
network, supplies more power and has more memory than the PowerCore 3810. The serial flash on the
PowerCore 3800 allows the use of the Dynamic C FAT module, adding a popular standard for file storage
to your application. However, if your application requires a low-power solution and only requires serial
communication, the PowerCore 3810 would be an appropriate choice.
