MAXIM Installation Instructions

Chapter 1 – Preliminary Information

1-2.2 Sub System Network Controllers

These controllers are primarily designed to be installed on the subsystem network to be managed

by the Sub System Gateway (IG01). The controllers on the subsystem network do not provide Global

comms functionality. The MAXIM Series controllers that can be installed on the Innotech subsystem

network are:

• MiniMAX (MM02)

• MicroMAX (UM01)

• VAVMax (VM01)

It is important to know that the VAVMax (VM01) and the MicroMAX (UM01) can operate in standalone

applications, using the respective inputs and outputs to receive information to control external

equipment, or as part of a primary network supporting Net comms communication. But in

standalone applications or when installed on a primary network, these controllers will not have all

of the respective features available. Features such as data logging, global points, alarms, and Real

Time Clock synchronization are ONLY available when these controllers are installed on a subsystem

network and managed by the Sub System Gateway (IG01).

Please refer to the datasheet of the relevant controller for more detailed information.

1-2.3 Sub System Gateway (IG01)

The Innotech® Sub System Gateway (IG01) is a gateway between the primary and subsystem

networks. It provides the ability to add subsystem networks of Innotech controllers with a single

communications channel for Net and Global comms functionality. The Sub System Gateway manages

the resources for all connected devices, reducing the load on master controllers in a large network

while reducing network traffic. It provides the following functionality to all connected devices that

otherwise would not be available:

• Logging

• Battery backed Real Time Clock Synchronization

• Global points

• Alarms

The Innotech suite of software can communicate with all devices that are connected to the Sub

System Gateway, providing the transfer of all global points between devices on the primary network

and subsystem network.

Please refer to the

Sub System Gateway (IG01) Datasheet

for more information.

These controllers can operate in standalone applications, using the respective universal inputs,

universal outputs, analogue outputs, and digital outputs to transmit and receive information and

control external equipment, or as part of a network of Innotech devices that support Net and Global

comms communication.

However the MiniMAX (MM01) when installed in standalone applications does not provide Real Time

Clock (RTC) synchronization functionality.
