Solid PAC main unit is designed based on the ARM Cortex processors with Linux and Android OS. For the special cases where the user needs more I/O and ports, we have considered the extra ports on the side unit. One or more side units can be cascaded to the main unit to supply enough required I/O and communication ports like CAN Bus, ModBus, EtherCAT, RS232. We have designed Digital I/O and Analog I/O side units separately. We have shown the connection structure here:
