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.
