The PLC-2/DHII interface functions as a communication interface
between a PLC-2 family processor (host processor) and other nodes of a
Data Highway II link (Figure 2.3).
The power-supply board converts AC power to DC power that the PLC-2
host board and MAC board use. The power-supply board accepts either
120V AC OR 220V AC, 60 Hz. The PLC-2 host board communicates
with the PLC-2 family processor. The MAC board communicates with
the other nodes of the Data Highway II link through the coaxial cable
medium.
