Remarks for PCI-1472 card

• the maximal speed depends on clock frequency and bus transceiver. For communication speed 12Mbps oscillator 48MHz is required
• should work also for series PCI-14xx and PCI-16xx by this company
• note: the output pins of these cards by Tedia have different distribution than the common Profibus cable. An possible adapter is illustrated here.
• multiple channels is supported since version 0.2.0
