Snell Wilcox UKON

This connector is used to poll and edit configuration information from a Snell & Wilcox UKON device.

About

The communication is based on a serial protocol implemented by the device (RollCall protocol). As the element has to receive unsolicited messages, its type is "smart-serial".

The element uses 2 interfaces for a redundant polling: if connection is lost on one of the interfaces, the polling is automatically switched over to the other one.
