8. ASET for ARCNET
The New ARCNET-based bus system enables connection between an ARCNET system
and an Ethernet system. This realizes addition of Ethernet analyzers to existing ARCNET
systems.
8.1 System Configuration
ASET-G software which is ARCNET supported version must be installed to corresponde with the
ARCNET system.
A typical network configuration of analyzer bus is shown in Figure 8.1.
The network consists of analyzers (Gas chromatograph etc.) and "Analyzer bus systems for
ARCNET". This "Analyzer bus systems for ARCNET" consist of “Gateway unit”, ”analyzer server”
and “ARCNET / Ethernet Converter”.
Each software (PCAS, ASET) for “Analyzer server” and “Analyzer Server Engineering Terminal”
should be used “/ARC: ARCNET supported version”.
The communication to the analyzer connected to Ethernet is also enabled.
• "Analyzer bus systems for ARCNET" should be used so that DCS communicates with
analyzer connected to ARCNET.
• Redundancy for ARCNET is enabled. Redundancy for Ethernet can be done by using
double "Analyzer bus systems for ARCNET".
• One "Analyzer bus systems for ARCNET" can communicate with up to 30 sets of analyzers
connected to ARCNET. In case of communicating with more than 31 sets, plural number of
"Analyzer bus systems for ARCNET" should be used.
