Reliance Electric 57C435 Automax 7010 Processor

The Reliance Electric 57C435 AutoMax 7010 Processor is a backplane-mounted AutoMax CPU module built around a Motorola 68020 32-bit microprocessor, designed to execute application tasks and coordinate other AutoMax modules in the same rack. Operating at 25 MHz, it includes 512K of parity RAM and 32K of EPROM for board-level diagnostics and boot software, with RAM retention capability supported by battery backup or a supercapacitor in typical AutoMax configurations. Up to four AutoMax Processor modules can share a single rack, enabling scalable processing power in systems that mix 57C435 with other AutoMax processors. The module runs AutoMax programming in languages such as BASIC, Control Block, and Ladder Logic, making it suitable for diverse automation tasks across PLC and I/O modules. It provides two RS-232 serial ports—one for programming and a second for device communication—facilitating configuration, data exchange, and troubleshooting, and it is identified in AutoMax literature as the 7010 Processor (M/N 57C435) with the J-3650 diagnostic/boot software.
