Overview 

The RMA PLUS is a high-speed communication gateway used to access data from up to four busses via 
Ethernet, USB or serial.  One of the primary features is the ability to proxy (route) Watbus transactions 
over Ethernet and USB to all devices connected to the high-speed Watbus network.  This feature is 
useful for system configuration and monitoring. 

The other core feature is to allow field bus connections to custom data sets managed asynchronous to 
field bus activity.  This same model is used for data logging, system configuration and the HTTP server.
