A remote panel module must be configured to work either in a Compact Router Series network or
in an NV9000 network. The two configuration modes are not compatible.
Figure 12-3 compares a stand-alone router with a captive panel to a stand-alone router network
with remote panel modules:
Figure 12-3. Standalone Router vs. a Network of Routers
A Compact Router Series network has the same topology as a stand-alone network, except (1) the
routers and remote panel modules have been configured under CRSC which provides a more ele-
gant solution to system design.
Figure 12-4 shows a sample NV9000 network, one of several possible topologies:
Figure 12-4. NV9000 Network of Routers
An NV9000 network supports a larger number of routers. Commands issue from the remote panels
to the NV9000 which then dispatches the instructions to the routers. The routers return status to the
NV9000 which in turn relays the status to the remote panels.
CR Series routers can be used with a NV9000 Router Control System or a NV915 Router Control
System. These router control systems extend the capabilities of the compact routers.
