Honeywell PML Bus Interface Unit

• The BIU consists of four processes:
  
  • LBRCV receives tokens from local bus
    
  • LBTX transmits tokens on the local bus
    
  • BIURCV receives tokens from the global bus
    
  • BIUTX transmits tokens on the global bus
    
• The BIU is a generic module that performs handshaking for other modules
  
  • Shields modules from details of the bus
