The RCU is connected via the 1-wire bus to the webswitch. The RCU has three 16A relays for CW and CCW rotation and for brake control. For the the azimuth (direction) reading there is  A\/D input which handles 0-7,5V or 0-15V. The A\/D input is fully issolated. The RCU can be connected to most of the current available rotators  and rotating tower controls.
