RS-232/I2C-Adapter and Parallel-I/O Module
This module translates simple commands received via an RS-232 interface to the I2C protocol in order to control components and modules via the I2C bus,
and to return read data and status information via RS-232.
It can also be used as an I2C monitor. In this special operation mode, the module "inspects" the I2C bus, and reports all detected activities via the
RS-232 interface.
In addition, eight input lines, and five output lines can be directly set or read. 16 bit counters are assigned to each of the eight input lines that
will increment on rising signal edges. These counters can be read or reset by special commands separately, or in total.
Furthermore, an optional watchdog function is implemented.
