More Information

The high performance Intellicon-NT960 is a RISC-based, expandable I/O subsystem rugged enough for even the most complex of application needs. In conjunction with ACM/16 and ACM/Flex-16 external modules, one Intellicon-NT960 host adapter can handle up to 128 ports. In addition, the Intellicon’s processor and dual-ported RAM substantially reduce serial I/O bottlenecks on the host CPU, ensuring enhanced performance for the total system.
