Working Principle: The module receives acquisition data from various I/O modules via the GDH bus. After internal processor data packaging and verification, it transmits to the central processor (CPU) via a high-speed communication link. Simultaneously, it distributes control instructions issued by the CPU to corresponding I/O channels, realizing bidirectional data communication.
