The MCU, an MC68302 microprocessor operating at 20 MHz is responsible
for handling all communication between the various interfaces and on-board
memory.
An RS485 highspeed PROFIBUS 2-wire interface is optically isolated from
the system and may be configured for full duplex operation (a 4-wire inter-
face available on request for OEM volume). Likewise, a fully configured
RS232 modem interface is available for program downloading for example
on SMART I/O systems supporting FLASH memory for this task or to the
RAM disk etc.
