Description
CS12 — Communication
Siemens (SIMADYN D) · CS12 · 6DD1660-0BA0
Description
The CS12 is the basic communications board used for fiber-optic rack-to-rack coupling in SIMADYN D systems, providing a shared memory (up to 128 kbyte) accessible by all coupling partners over the C-bus, with arbitration ensuring only one partner accesses the memory at a time. It forms the base board onto which the ICS1 expansion board is mounted to create the CS13 master coupling function (linking up to four CS22 slave boards).
