communications and an RS-232-C port for down loading program data
into the network CPU’s memories, as well as for the connection of
external devices such as printers or video annunciators. The card plugs
into the control module mother board. The RS-485 port is configurable
for either Class A or Class B wiring. The communications card also
contains the system clock.
