Notes: 1. MULCOM will be either cabinet-mounted or bench top. Display, keyboard and mouse are
needed per system location.
2. MULCOM is connected to the V-net using two YCB141 coaxial cables and a V-net Bus
Adapter.
Either YCB147 (19 inch rack) or YCB149 (simple model) should be ordered.
Refer to GS 33Q1B10-01E for V-net spec.
3. For OPC a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet card (10BASE-T/100BASE-T) is built in the standard
MULCOM model.
4. Please consult Sales department at YIS when absolute time stamping is required, GPS
