The XYCOM 9000‑EXF is an external and detachable floppy disk drive module designed for industrial on-site applications. It adopts a standard 5.25-inch floppy disk cartridge and is compatible with common 360 KB (single-sided) floppy disks. Positioned for embedded or automated systems requiring low power consumption, reliable storage, and easy quick replacement, this product is widely used in scenarios such as data acquisition, equipment firmware updates, and on-site debugging.
Main Technical Specifications
- Storage Capacity: 360 KB per side (single-sided floppy disk)
- Interface: USB 2.0 (Plug and Play)
- Transfer Rate: Approximately 300 KB/s
- Operating Voltage: 24 V DC (supports 18‑30 V)
- Power Consumption: Approximately 2 W (low-power design)
- Dimensions & Weight: 130 mm × 85 mm × 20 mm, weighing about 0.1 kg, facilitating internal or external chassis integration
- Protection Class: IP32 (dust and drip proof), suitable for industrial environments
- Compatible Operating Systems: Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10
Product Features
- Modular Plug-and-Play: Equipped with a detachable floppy disk cartridge design, supporting hot swapping. Disk replacement requires no power-off, greatly reducing downtime.
- Compact and Lightweight: Small in size and light in weight, easy to arrange in control cabinets or chassis with limited space.
- Low Power Consumption and High Reliability: With only 2 W operating power consumption and IP32 protection, it can run stably for a long time in dusty and humid industrial sites.
- Wide System Compatibility: The USB 2.0 interface is compatible with most industrial PCs, PLCs, and embedded motherboards, and supports plug-and-play drivers for common Windows systems.
- Quick Deployment: Plug-and-play functionality eliminates the need for additional drivers or software configuration, making it suitable for temporary storage needs such as on-site debugging and firmware upgrades.
Structure and Composition
- Housing: Metal or high-strength plastic housing provides structural support and basic protection.
- Floppy Disk Tray: Detachable tray with internal floppy disk positioning slots for quick loading/unloading of floppy disks.
- USB Control Circuit: Responsible for USB 2.0 signal conversion and power management, with a built-in low-power control chip.
- Power Regulation Module: Converts 24 V (or 18‑30 V) input into the operating voltage required by the floppy disk drive.
Typical Application Areas
- Industrial Automation: Firmware backup and upgrade for PLCs, DCSs, and on-site instruments.
- Embedded Systems: Offline data acquisition and storage for industrial PCs and single-board computers.
- On-site Debugging and Maintenance: On-site engineers use floppy disks to quickly load diagnostic programs or back up configurations.
- Secure Isolated Storage: In environments with strict network isolation requirements, floppy disks are used to achieve offline data transmission.
Installation and Maintenance Guidelines
Installation
- Fix the module in the reserved 5.25-inch slot of the chassis or control cabinet using screws or buckles.
- Connect the USB 2.0 cable to the USB interface of the host or controller, and ensure the power cable (24 V) is connected to the power terminal.
- Check if the protective cover is intact to maintain the IP32 rating.
Usage
- Insert the floppy disk into the tray and push it gently to the locked position; the system will recognize it as a USB storage device.
- After file copying, firmware flashing, or data backup, eject the floppy disk first before pulling out the tray.
Maintenance
- Regularly check the contact condition of USB interfaces and power terminals to prevent unstable communication caused by oxidation.
- Clean the housing and tray to avoid dust entering the floppy disk positioning mechanism.
- If floppy disk reading errors occur, first replace the floppy disk or check if the tray is properly positioned.
