EXCOM (EXternal computer COMmunication) permits the external computer to read or write
in the Advant Controller 450 data base with the help of simple commands and an asynchronous
serial communication link V.24/RS-232-C. The communication is controlled by the external
computer. Figure 1-39 shows the possible alternative means of connection with an external
computer. This figure shows how you can connect an external computer directly to one or more
Advant Controller systems. The external computer can reach other nodes in the configuration
through communication via a MasterBus.
