Chapter 2 Principles of Operation
2.1.06 Operation Panel
The Serial I/O Port (Ports 20 - 23) of the MPU reads the operation panel switch data from the operation panel control LSI (Location IC1: BUS148S).
A two byte (15 bits +1 parity bit (even parity)) command (OPTXD) is transmitted from the MPU to the operation panel LSI in synchronization with the OPCLK signal. Once the LSI decodes the command, the command must pass a command code check and have no parity errors. Then, the specified I/O control will return the two byte command response to the MPU.
