Interface board has isolated data lines

The FCIF010 FlexBus interface board is available now from Flextek for $59 each

FlexBus is a low-cost multidrop serial interface for power control and automation. The electrically isolated databus eliminates line drops and ground noise from measurements, protects the PC from power transients, and enables operation at varying voltages. Competing interfaces have excessive software overhead and bidirectional data lines that are difficult to isolate, which effectively limits power control applications.
The isolated data lines of FlexBus plug directly into the PC for automation, or connect to logic pins for embedded control.

Simple 6byte ASCII command strings enable real-time interrupt-driven control and data acquisition with minimal software overhead.

Free Active X and demo programs illustrate common applications while speeding custom software development.

The FlexBus interface board may be used with the supplied FlexController SoC, PIC micro (ICD compatible), or other UART device.

Application notes and tutorial, combined with optional power board and education kit, ease product development.
