About Series 90 TCP/IP Triplex Communications
The Series 90 TCP/IP Triplex communications enabler supports standard (non redundant) and both cabling and PLC redundancy for Series 90 TCP/IP communications.
- Standard configuration allows CIMPLICITY to communicate with a Series 90 or VersaMax interface through a single Ethernet connection.
- PLC redundancy describes the ability to configure a group of PLCs to act as a single logical data source.
- Cabling redundancy describes the ability to configure two network paths to the same PLC.
This communication interface supports communication to the Series 90 and VersaMax products, which have an installed/configured Ethernet Interface.
For redundant communication, the enabler supports the standard Series 90-70 hot-standby, synchronized CPU and GMR system products, Trimations HBR-30, HBR-70, and TMR-30 products and custom redundancy applications based on Series 90 PLC in single and cable redundant applications.
This enabler supports the following CIMPLICITY features:
- Polled reads at user defined rates
- Poll after setpoint
- Triggered reads
- Unsolicited data
- Analog deadband
- Alarm on communications failure
- Server Redundancy configurations
This enabler supports the following data types:
- Signed 8, 16, and 32 bit integers
- Unsigned 8, 16, and 32 bit integers
- Floating point
- Text
- Arrays
