Rcm3000 Series Rabbitcore Modules - RabbitCore RCM3000 Getting Started Manual

1.2 RCM3000 Series RabbitCore Modules

The RCM3000 series RabbitCore modules are designed for use on a customer-supplied
motherboard that supplies power and interfaces to real-world I/O devices. Their two 34-
pin connection headers provide 52 parallel user I/O lines, shared with five serial ports,
along with control lines. A sixth serial port and one additional I/O line are available on the
programming header.
A fully enabled slave port permits glueless master-slave interface with another Rabbit-
based system. The slave port may also be used with non-Rabbit systems, although addi-
tional logic may be required.
The RCM3000 is equipped with a 10Base-T Ethernet port, 256K–512K flash memory and
128K–512K static RAM.
There are two production models in the RCM3000 series. If the standard models do not
serve your needs, other variations can be specified and ordered in production quantities.
Contact your Z-World or Rabbit Semiconductor sales representative for details.
Table 1 below highlights the differences between the two models in the RCM3000 family.

NOTE: The RCM3010 is the RabbitCore module supplied with the Development Kit.
In addition, there is an RCM3100 series of RabbitCore modules that omits the RCM3000
series' Ethernet connectivity, but offer a much smaller footprint, which is one-half the size
of the RCM3000 series.
The RabbitCore modules can be programed locally, remotely, or via a network.
