FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION
The Trusted TM Gateway Module
enables PC based applications to
reside within the Trusted
TM system
and interact with the Trusted TM
Controller. The Gateway interfaces
to the Trusted
TM IMB (Inter Module
Bus) via connection with the
Communications Interface(T8151)
using
100baseT Ethernet. A
second Ethernet port and serial
port are provided for onwards
connection to client networks. The
Gateway features a full Microsoft
Windows
XP license. The
configuration of communications
and loading of applications is
achieved using locally connected
peripherals or the Remote Desktop
feature of another networked
device running Windows XP.
The Gateway is similar in size to
other Trusted
TM communications
and I/O modules. It occupies a
single
slot of any
Controller/Expander Chassis. The
module sources redundant power
from the bus like all other modules.
All user connections are made at
the rear of the module using the
T8153 Communications Interface
adaptor.
The primary use for the Gateway is
as a host for the Trusted
TM OPC
server. With the OPC server
loaded, the Gateway provides
direct access to the Trusted
TM
system status from any OPC Client
using either Data Access V1.0, 2.0
and Alarms & events V1.0. One or
more OPC clients can access the
Trusted
TM system over the Ethernet
network both receiving status
information and sending command
instructions.
The gateway interacts with one port
of the Communications Interface
whilst the other port can continue to
function
independently for
implementation of high integrity
peer to peer transactions between
Trusted
TM Controllers.
