Common Hybrid Interface Protocol System (CHIPS) is the definition of a computer network that consist of a mixture of common serial data protocols such as RS-232 and RS-485 or can be even PC keyboard interface communication. 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 such systems are i.e. FIKO Technologies "Ufdex" and Olivetti's "Mael Gateasy". 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 and drivers.
CHIPS users will in most cases be able to work with several serial data transceiver sources at one and same time. Such serial data might originate from PC Keyboards, CANbus, RS and wireless communication where all data connects into one or several CHIPS units that communicates over mixed serial data protocols.
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.
