Figure 3. Bus Controller Block Diagram - Remote Terminal Operation
The Total-AceXtreme® RT architecture builds upon the single-RT architecture of
Enhanced Mini-ACE, Mini-ACE Mark 3, Micro-ACE(TE), and Total-ACE.
One of the major new features of Total-AceXtreme is its Multi-RT capability. That is,
the Total-AceXtreme provides the capability to implement up to 31 independent
Remote Terminals (up to 32 RTs if Broadcast is disabled).
The Total-AceXtreme -RT engine can also be configured to operate in a Single-RT
legacy mode of operation. Single-RT operation supports hardware control of the RT
address and automatic boot, allowing the Total-AceXtreme to respond to commands
with Status with its Busy bit set immediately following power turn-on without requiring
configuration by the host.
For RT (and/or Monitor) applications, where the possibility of BC operation must be
absolutely prohibited, the Total-AceXtreme includes a DISABLE_BC input signal. In
addition to single-RT and Multi-RT operation, the Total-AceXtreme® includes the
following capabilities:
