Overview Interfaces

CAN
The CAN is inter-module communication interface. It is a 2-wire serial bus
system supporting high speed data communication and real-time requirement.
LAN
The modules have either an interface slot for an LAN card (e.g. Agilent
G1369B/C LAN Interface) or they have an on-board LAN interface (e.g.
detectors G1315C/D DAD and G1365C/D MWD). This interface allows the
control of the module/system via a PC with the appropriate control software.
Some modules have neither on-board LAN nor an interface slot for a LAN card
(e.g. G1170A Valve Drive or G4227A Flex Cube). These are hosted modules and
require a Host module with firmware B.06.40 or later or with additional
G1369C LAN Card.
If an Agilent detector (DAD/MWD/FLD/VWD/RID) is in the system, the LAN should be
N O T E
connected to the DAD/MWD/FLD/VWD/RID (due to higher data load). If no Agilent
detector is part of the system, the LAN interface should be installed in the pump or
autosampler.
USB
The USB interface replaces the RS-232 Serial interface in new FUSION
generation modules. For details on USB refer to "USB (Universal Serial
Bus)" on page 224.
Analog Signal Output
The analog signal output can be distributed to a recording device. For details
refer to the description of the module's main board.
Remote (ERI)
The ERI (Enhanced Remote Interface) connector may be used in combination
with other analytical instruments from Agilent Technologies if you want to use
features as common shut down, prepare, and so on.
