-Unipi Axon is our latest PLC product line, designed to be used in monitoring, regulation, smart home, HVAC and many other applications. In its core, Axon is improved and redesigned variant of the Neuron product line. The development goal was to capitalize on Neuron'​s strengths and to further improve them. Axon thus retains a high degree of modularity and flexibility - two of our products'​ most significant advantages. ​+Unipi Axon is our units product line, designed to be used in monitoring, regulation, smart home, HVAC and many other applications.

- +Depending ​on the model, ​Neuron units feature ​1-3 sections. See [[#​sizes_and_sections|below]] for more info.
-Axon controllers feature up to three input-output (I/O) groups depending ​on the model, ​each containing a group of inputs, outputs and/or communication interfaces. It contains ​(S-series), 2 (M-series) or (L-series) I/O groups+
  
 **Each I/O circuit board is controlled by its STM32 processor**,​ which controls inputs and outputs and communicates with the central processing unit (CPU). Processors are using custom firmware containing not only basic I/O functions, but also additional functions and features. **Each I/O circuit board is controlled by its STM32 processor**,​ which controls inputs and outputs and communicates with the central processing unit (CPU).

-===== CPU ===== 
  
-Unipi Axon controllers ​are powered by a **1.2GHz Allwinner H-5 quad-core CPU**. Compared to Neuron series, all Axon models contain internal **8GB eMMC memory**. That makes the Axon more reliable and less sensitive to memory aging.+==== CPU ====
