MPC has three key benefits:
- Serial and networking communication is built into the MPC engine. The MPC engine is pre-programmed to handle data transmission transparently over communication channels running through the embedded computer.
- Port-to-port communication is driver programmable. Most field systems are created by making slight changes to existing systems. By using MPC, these changes can be used almost immediately by either modifying a driver, or adding a driver to a channel.
- The engine supports multiple drivers in a channel. Allowing multiple drivers in a channel simplifies and modularises the design, making it extremely easy to configure applications that use layers of data conversion and processing.
