XP8300/XP8400/SE1100 PLCBus s 59
Two independent buses exist on a 26-conductor connector: the LCD bus
and the PLCBus.
LCD Bus Signals
The LCD bus consists of the following signals:
LCDX positive-going strobe.
/RDX negative-going strobe for read.
/WRX negative-going strobe for write.
A0X address line for LCD register selection.
D0X-D7X bidirectional data lines (shared with expansion bus).
The LCD bus is used to connect Z-Worlds OP6000 series interfaces or to
directly drive certain small liquid crystal displays. Figure A-2 illustrates
the connection of an OP6000 interface to a BL2100 controller.

PLCBus Signals
The PLCBus may be used as a 4-bit bus (D0XD3X) or as an 8-bit bus
(D0XD7X). Whether it is used as a 4-bit bus or an 8-bit bus depends on
the encoding of the address placed on the bus. Some PLCBus expansion
cards require 4-bit addressing and others (such as the XP8700) require
8-bit addressing. These devices may be mixed on a single bus.
The PLCBus consists of the following signals.
/STBX negative-going strobe.
A1XA3X three control lines for selecting bus operation.
D0XD3X four bidirectional data lines used for 4-bit operations.
D4XD7X four additional data lines for 8-bit operations.
/AT attention line (open drain) that may be pulled low by any
device, causing an interrupt.
