Abstract

A microprocessor based data communications controller board includes at least one microprocessor and is for controlling communications over a plurality of busses having different electrical specifications and using different communications procedures. The board includes a first interface for interfacing the microprocessor based data communications controller board with a first communications bus providing a multidrop serial master-slave synchronous data link controlled communications system. The board also includes a second interface for interfacing the microprocessor based data communications controller board with at least one second communications bus providing a Manchester encoded multidrop master-slave high-level data link controlled communications system. And the board also includes a third interface for interfacing the microprocessor based data communications controller board with a third communications bus providing a parallel processor-to-processor message passing communications system.
