To complete a basic D20 implementation, several other components are required:
Components
•
Peripheral I/O modules
•
D.20 Link for communication between the main board and the peripherals
•
Interposing Relay Panels, the need for which depends upon the load
characteristics of the device that is controlled by the D20K or D20C control
peripherals. If this rating exceeds the contact rating of the D20K or D20C control
peripheral boards, then an Interposing Relay Panel is required. See "Interposing
Relays" page 34.
•
When using bit-based synchronous protocols a Universal Protocol Converter
(UPC) board is required to convert from byte to bit and back. The D20/D200
communicates asynchronously over its serial ports.
