Auxillary Exchange Peer-to-Peer Topology
An Auxiliary Exchange peer-to-peer network can be created using Ethernet, ControlNet, Data Highway
Plus or DeviceNet to interface with PLC devices and for example PanelView operator panels (FTE is not
supported as exchange peer-to-peer network to foreign devices). When multiple Experion PKS servers
are combined, the Supervisory ControlNet segments from different Experion PKS Servers are not directly
connected together.
The Network between Servers can be local or Remote (WAN), and must support the necessary
bandwidth described in EP03-200-200 Experion PKS Server Specification and Technical Data.
A ControlNet hosting PLC5/C with associated 1771 I/O may be interconnected to another controller
chassis on another server, as shown. Both C200/CPMs may obtain PLC5/C data using exchange blocks
in this case. This link is also available for a C200/CPM of one server to communicate with a C200/CPM
of another server using Exchange Function Blocks.
As shown in the diagram below, an Exchange peer-to-peer is also possible between C200 controllers
that reside under different Experion PKS servers. This applies to either a dedicated ControlNet network,
an Ethernet network or the FTE network (same FTE community) connecting the controllers to the
servers. Exchange peer-to-peer is only possible between controllers that are connected to the FTE
network through the FTE Bridge. (FTE Bridge module is not supported in any foreign PLC type device).
