9.2.4Ethernet and serial

To connect Ethernet and non-Ethernet units in a dual Ethernet-serial system

In this dual system the laptop/PC is connected to the Ethernet units via Ethernet and non-Ethernet units via serial/USB. In the Ethernet system, connect the Ethernet units using Ethernet cable, using one of the options in Section 7.2. Connect the first Ethernet unit to the PC via Ethernet using one of the options in Section 7.3. In the serial system, connect the non-Ethernet units together in a daisy chain configuration and connect the first of these units to the PC using any of the methods shown in Section 9.2.1.

In this configuration the Ethernet system provides fast operation, while the serial provides slow operation.

Note

In this configuration the Ethernet and serial networks are entirely separate, as they are connected to the PC via different ports. This allows the networks to be running different protocols. However, to do this the PC will need to be running two RCS programs of the equivalent protocols.
