-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.

 **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).

-  * The **RS485** most often utilizes the Modbus RTU protocol and can be used for communication with a wide variety of devices such as energy meters, touchscreen HMI panels, ​PLCs from other vendors or the [[en:​hw:​04-extensions| Unipi extension]] modules. The bus can communicate with up to 32 devices with its total length being up to several hundred meters.  ​+  * The **RS485** most often utilizes the Modbus RTU protocol and can be used for communication with a wide variety of devices such as energy meters, touchscreen HMI panels, ​units from other vendors or the [[en:​hw:​04-extensions| Unipi extension]] modules.
