3.1 Introduction
An APU is the kernel of a serial communication controller system. It can
manage up to 8 pieces of F641/F642 box. The APU communicates with the
MPU via dual port RAM and processes the data transfer between MPU and
I/O devices.
F641 box:
Interface: RS-232
Controller: FIFO type ST16C554 controller
Connector: 25 pin D -type male (8 ports per box)
F642 box:
Interface: RS-422
Controller: FIFO type ST16C554 controller
Connector: 25 pin D -type male (8 ports per box)
C584XB/C588XB is used to convert RS-232 input signal to isolated RS-232,
RS-422 or RS-485 interface. We support signal ground isolation system
between PC system and external application system. We have two models
to support four ports (C584XB) or eight ports (C588XB).
