History
1982年发布的传统Optomux系统是使用简单的开放ASCII协议,是第一个智能,可寻址的I/O系统。
The Optomux protocol soon became an industry standard for the distributed intelligent I/O market.
Optomux allowed thousands of points of I/O to be distributed anywhere along a mile-long serial communications link. Processor-intensive tasks, such as counting and latching, were off-loaded to the individual I/O racks. This advance made system performance independent of the number of I/O points.
