ModCon is short for MODular CONtroller. At the heart of the ModCon board is a Freescale 16-bit fixed-point microcontroller – the MC9S12A512. It has 512 KB of non-volatile storage (Flash memory), 14 KB of RAM, and numerous peripherals.
The ModCon number simply tells you the serial number of the ModCon board you are using. This could be handy if there is a problem with the hardware, as it enables staff to keep track of any failures or modifications made to the individual boards.
