Interfaces

Info

It is the opinion of ECS that we live in the 21st century and no one should not have to endure anything other than a nice TCP socket established over a well-defined/adopted link standard like Ethernet. If there is time to develop a custom protocol, there is time to implement a standard like Modbus.

...

The following interfaces will not be accepted unless mutually agreed upon:

  • Custom protocol over TCP or anything else
  • Serial: RS-485/232 (excluding Modbus)
  • Board-level serial interfaces (SPI, I2C)
  • Custom bit-bashing (TTL)
  • Boolean or analog electrical signaling
