Figure 4.4 Multicon for VikinX Sub-
lime and Compact
Figure 4.5 shows how to deploy redundant controllers for control of a VikinX Sublime and Com-
pact router. The two Multicon controllers communicate via an internal MBUS protocol. If one
controller fails the other controller will take over as main controller for the routers. The control
panels will also switch over to the other controller.
The Multicon controllers communicate internally over the Nevion MBUS protocol to exchange
status information and perform settings across physical controllers.
Figure 4.5 Redundant Multicon for
VikinX Sublime and Compact
Note: Sublime control panels can only have one connection to a controller,
which means that it is not possible to use Sublime control panels with two
redundant Multicon controllers. If redundancy is required it is necessary
to use VikinX Modular control panels instead.
Figure 4.6 shows how to control a Pro-bel router and a Triton router from a Multicon controller.
Multicon communicates with the routers using SW-P-02 serial line protocol and Triton Protocol.
4.3 VikinX Modular
Multicon VX-MOD is used to control VikinX Modular routers but also comes with support for
VikinX Sublime, Sublime Compact and Compact routers. In addition, the product may be con-
trolled by or control devices using the Pro-bel SW-P-02 protocol. Optionally it is also possible to
extend the protocol support with other third-party protocols.
