GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The COM20051+ is a low-cost, highly-integrated
microcontroller incorporating a high-
performance network controller based on the
ARCNET Token Bus Standard (ANSI 878.1).
The COM20051+ is based around the popular
Intel 8051 architecture. The device is
implemented using a microcontroller core
similar to the Intel 80C32 ROMless version of
the 8051 architecture. The COM20051+ is ideal
for distributed control networking applications
such as those found in industrial/machine
controls, building/factory automation, consumer
products, instrumentation, and automobiles.
The COM20051+ contains many features that
are beneficial for embedded control
applications. The microcontroller is a fully-
functional 16MHz 80C32 that is comparable to
the Intel 80C32. In contrast to other embedded
controller/networking solutions, the COM20051+
adds a fully-featured, robust, powerful, and
simple network interface, watchdog timer, and
data acquisition port, while retaining all of the
basic 8051 peripherals, such as the serial port
and counter/timers.
