Communications
System

The Advance Communication System (ACS) is a high-speed
communications system that uses TCP / IP protocols and addressing to
interconnect chromatographs and other process analyzers in a common
network. Figure 1-1 shows the Advance DataNET Hub (DNH), Advance
Network Access Unit (NAU) and Advance Network Gateway (ANG)
connected to the ACS. The NAU connects to the ACS and provides a
method to access information coming from Advance process analyzers
including Advance Maxum and Advance Optichrom GC’s. The ANG is
used to connect Siemens’ equipment residing on an Advance Data
Hiway to the ACS.

Advance Optichrom
GC’s

Advance Optichrom Service Panels and older APC workstations can
display Advance Maxum GC information over the Gateway link. They
are, however, limited to only accessing and changing basic operational
status. This data includes alarms, run/hold/calibrate, view, analysis
results etc.
