[lgn1]

The item you see is the fully functional unit.

[defanjos]

It can be many things, I'll try the following:

- Is it a clock - not time, but like a square wave generator?
- Is it a voltage regulator?
- Is it a wave generator?

[JordanAutomations]

a timer or oscillator? scratch that.

On on second thought it looks mor like a RS232 serial converter. Maybe a booster for distances, or converting levels for different interfaces?

[lgn1]

I/O is involved.

[defanjos]
