Product Details:

Description:

The Network Communication Module (NCM) enables a Tricon controller to communicate with other Tricons and with external devices on an Ethernet network. The NCM provides two BNC connectors as ports: NET 1 supports Peer-to-Peer and Time Synchronization protocols for safety networks comprised of Tricons only. NET 2 supports open networking to external systems using Triconex applications such as TriStation, SOE, OPC Server, and DDE Server or userwritten applications.

The NCMG module has the same functionality as the NCM as well as the ability to synchronize time based on a GPS system.

The NCM is compatible with the Ethernet (IEEE 802.3 electrical interface) and operates at speeds up to 10 megabits. The NCM and the host computer can be connected by coaxial cable (RG58) at typical distances up to 607 feet (185 meters). Distances up to 2.5 miles (4,000 meters) are possible using repeaters and standard (thick-net) cabling. For more information, contact the IPS Global Client Support (GCS) center.

Two NCMs can be placed in one logical slot of the Tricon controller chassis, but they function independently, not as hot-spare modules. The Main Processors typically refresh data on the NCM once per scan.
