The RC51 includes, pre-programmed into the microcontroller, a special version of Industrologic's simple programming language Tiny Machine Basic written for the hardware on the RC51, and the microcontroller chip can be re-programmed using any number of software development tools available for similar Atmel microcontrollers.

• Based on the Atmel AT89C4051 microcontroller operating at 11.0592 MHZ
• Convenient screw terminal block connections for all relay and digital I/O connections
• Serial RS-232 port with true RS-232 interface and DB9F connector matching PC compatibles
• Eight 10 amp Form "C" relays with LED indicators for on/off status
• Four digital logic levels signals usable as inputs or outputs including one interrupt signal
• General purpose software readable pushbutton switch and software controllable LED
• 512 byte EEPROM for storage of small programs or configuration information
• On-board +5 volt power supply including screw terminal connection for external circuitry
• Pin-type power connector for easy connection to wall block power supplies
• Tiny Machine Basic programming language for the RC51 programmed into the microcontroller
• EEPROM based AT89C4051 can be re-programmed using common Intel 8051/Atmel AT89Cxx51 software development tools and device programmer

To facilitate the connection of devices requiring power to the RC51, the +5 volt signal from the on-board regulator has been connected to pin 9 of the serial connector. This connection will not affect normal serial ports since +5 volts is within the range of allowable voltages on RS-232 input pins.

The following is a pin out of the serial port signals:

RC51 signal   -    TX   RX   -    GND  -    -    -    +5 OUT
pin           1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9
PC signal     DCD  RX   TX   DTR  GND  DSR  RTS  CTS  RI

The limitations of the digital logic level signals are the same as those of the microcontroller chip installed. They can "sink" 20 milliamperes each with a total current of 80 milliamperes (steady state) for all signals. The addition of the 10K pullup resistors allows the signals to "source" 0.5 milliamperes each. For more information on the limitations of these signals, see the data sheet.

The +5 signal on the screw terminal connector is the same power supply that is used by the circuitry on the RC51, and can be used to power external devices. The current drawn from this signal should be limited to 100 milliamperes.
