UCCI-R5
Universal Communication Controller Improved

The Universal Communication Controller Improved (UCCI) is a device that establishes the interface from standard Ethernet TCP/IP communication channels (TCP-client, TCP-server and UDP) to standard as well as “non-standard” synchronous/asynchronous systems (non-standard in terms of Commercially Of The Shelf equipment).

The UCCI can interface 8 synchronous/asynchronous systems to 8 network channels simultaneously. The UCCI supports a variety of datalink protocols like Link-1, Link-11B, SIMPLE, ATDL, HDLC, LAPB, Synchronous transparent, Asynchronous transparent and the flexible Universal-mode (which is well known from the Universal Communication Controller, UCC).

To provide flexibility and create a wide adaptation level within these different modes, the UCCI has wide a number of parameters which can be altered to interface to specific protocols. Synchronisation word, bit encoding and bit stripping are only a couple of these parameters. Though the UCCI is designed from a total new concept, a lot of its functionality on the serial communication side is comparable to that of the UCC.

The UCCI goes way beyond the functionality of the UCC in terms of flexibility, ease of installation, ease of configuration, time synchronisation possibilities, logging- and data field extraction capabilities. The UCCI provides remote monitoring and configuration of the unit by means of a standard html-based web-interface and the use of any “brand” of web-browser available. System configuration security is guaranteed by a configurable username and password combination.
