9.3 Remote Control PCB Note Until 2022, the VIS was delivered with the EPS495 board as the remote control PCB. Since 2022, the VIS has been delivered with the EP00047, and the EP00051 as an add-on board when Multiwire is required. The functionalities of these boards are equivalent in most cases, with the exception of the most demanding recent ALCMS systems with a redundant bus.
