The AN-X-AMX Gateway provides a migration path for users looking to upgrade Reliance AutoMax DCS or Remote I/O networks. The AMX gateway has multiple operating modes, these operating modes are all included with the AN-X-AMX and are selected during initial module configuration. The operating modes include DCSNet2, a bridge between EtherNet/IP and a DCSNet network; DCSLOG, for logging DCSNet traffic; AMXRIO, a bridge between EtherNet/IP and AutoMax Remote I/O; and AMXCapt, a Remote I/O or DCSNet data capture tool.
DCSNet2
In the DCSNet2 operating mode, the gateway acts as a bridge between Ethernet/IP and a Reliance AutoMax DCSNet network. The AN-X removes the hardware dependence on specific AutoMax interface cards (ISA, PCI, PC Card) allowing any computer or PAC with Ethernet/IP to connect to a DCSNet network.
AMXRIO
In the AMXRIO operating mode, a PC or PAC on Ethernet /IP can connect to a Reliance AutoMax Remote I/O network. The module acts as a master on the AutoMax remote I/O network.
DCSLOG
In the DCSLOG operating mode, the gateway connects to the AutoMax DCSNet network, listens to every value of each DCSNet
register, looks for changes and then timestamps the values.
AMXCAPT
In the AMXCAPT operating mode, data can be captured, stored and then analyzed on a Reliance AutoMax DCS or Remote I/O network. Examine the behavior of all drops, verify network data and timing, locate network errors and troubleshoot problems with the network and with the process.
