Nucleus Bus
Support services offers a wide array of bus-based systems.
Busses can be used to control peripherals on a single
platform, or to coordinate with controllers in separate
devices.
Nucleus Bus Support
accommodates the following key technologies:
-
Controller Area Network (CAN)
Supports communications between controllers and is the basis
for the CANopen module.
-
CANOpen
Supporting the highest levels of CAN, Nucleus Bus Support
provides CANOpen compliant support enabling communications
for internal machine networks and embedded systems.
-
PCI/PCI-X
Whether through an expansion card or within an integrated
circuit, PCI provides a high performance basis for
communicating with and controlling peripherals.
-
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
SPI is a light-weight, low-speed bus optimized for embedded
devices. Though SPI can be used to connect many peripherals
to a master, it’s a bus interface optimized with a single
master connected to a single peripheral.
-
Inter-Integrated Circuit (I²C)
A lower cost solution than SPI, I²C is also slower. It does,
however, serve as a versatile means of communicating to
peripherals within a device.
