CHIPS may also consist of BlueTooth and Wi-FI for wireless communication.
In the world there are several CHIPS projects and products available today where on such system is uFDEX. As new bus systems are gaining market shares, there will always be need for CHIPS to enable serial network protocols to be integrated into one single connection point. By using CHIPS it will be possible to control I/O data from different sources and systems without having the need to install several serial interface cards or drivers.
CHIPS users are able to integrate PC Keyboards, CANbus, RS and wireless communication into one or several central CHIPS units and communicate over mixed serial data protocols without interface problems.
Due to the mixed baud rates between the connected systems, the compatibility with CHIPS means that some devices will have reduced transfer rates but CHIPS are primary designed for Lab-, office-, home-, factory- and building automation.
