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 a 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 Flexible 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.
RS-232C (Serial)
The RS-232C connector is used to control the module from a computer
through RS-232C connection, using the appropriate software. This connector
can be configured with the configuration switch module at the rear of the
module. Refer to Communication Settings for RS-232C.
There is no configuration possible on main boards with on-board LAN. These are
N O T E
pre-configured for
• 19200 baud,
• 8 data bit with no parity and
• one start bit and one stop bit are always used (not selectable).
