Network
The Pulsar Edge supports network access to almost all controller functions including all voltage and
temperature readings, current alarms, and alarm history. It supports a web-based user interface using
standard browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer®. It can provide plant alarm and control
information to a distributed or centralized Network Operation Center (NOC) using the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) or the Transaction Machine Language (TL1), which allow the Pulsar Edge
to provide alarm information to the NOC for integrated network management. The Pulsar Edge
provides network access and control capability for users under the HTTP, Telnet, FTP, SMTP, SNMP, and
TL1 protocols.
This section provides access to configure all the network parameters for the controller. The primary
port is Network Port 1 which configures the integrated 10/100Base-T Ethernet port. The controller has
the ability to utilize an external network card that attaches to the RS232 Craft port and can provide
access to a second network connection. This connection is called Network Port 2. Port 2 is reserved for
a second integrated Ethernet port in the future. Following is a sample screen of the port information
typically obtained from a network administrator as well as descriptions for the fields. Brief description
of some of the other features included in the controller is provided.
