UCC 08 board is a powerful module designed for ABACO® Industrial BUS serial communications featuring remarkable possibilities of interfacement to several external devices.

The board is based on the flexible Signetic CCL2698, which can support asynchronous communication .

The UCC 08 board comes in Single Europe format 100x160mm, it manages separetely 8 serial lines whose protocols and communication speeds are software settable; each of the 8 lines manage in autonomy the 4 canonical signals: TxD, RxD, CTS, RTS. In addition, each communication line can be buffered as RS 232, RS 422 or RS 485.

The asynchronous communication can be made employing one of the following communication protocols:

• - Baud rate selectable amongst 150 and 38,4 KBaud
• - Stop bit selectable amongst 1; 1.5 and 2 bits
• - Word length selectable from 5 to 8 bits
• - Parity can be even, odd or none

A software readable 8-pins 4 Dip Switch allows the User to set on the board particular conditions to inform the firmware about a particular situation (for example; a certain Baud Rate and communication protocol have been chosen).

UCC 08 board takes 64 bytes of addressing space where all the registers that allow software management and programming of the board are allocated.

Theseddresses can be allocated in the ABACO® Industrial BUS addressing space through a 8 pins Dip Switch.

The board is capable to generate an interrupt signal when specific software settable events occour.
