Before there were RTC and module-based controllers,
there was Micromint BCC. Simply translated as Basic Computer
Control, BCC offers a basic, rugged, low-cost, yet very expandable
edge-card and motherboard-style system. Like the RTC, a user
chooses among the processor boards and then selects among
an assortment of expansion cards to create custom-tailored
control solutions. Because of their ruggedness and versatility,
it is no wonder that thousands of BCC systems are in use all
over the world today.
BCC card cage systems can be constructed as 4-slot, 8-slot,
or dual 8-slot 19" rack units. Various power supply options
allow the BCC system to go virtually anywhere.
