CONNECTEUR ÉLECTROMAGNÉTIQUE ET SYSTÈME/COMMUTATEUR DE COMMANDE DE COMMUNICATIONS AVEC INTERFACES DE COMMUNICATION SÉRIE ET PARALLÈLES

摘要

A communications control system/switch fabric is disclosed that includes a serial communications interface and a parallel communications interface (e.g., for coupling input/output modules with a control module). The serial communications interface is configured for connecting input/output modules/slave devices to a control module/master device in parallel, and the parallel communications interface is configured for separately connecting the input/output modules/slave devices to the control module/master device.
