Agilent 1100/1200 Series 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 1100/1200 modules have either an interface slot for an LAN card (e.g.
Agilent G1369A 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 connected PC with the appropriate control
software (e.g. Agilent ChemStation).
GPIB
This interface is not available in all modules and may be removed from the
modules in future.
The GPIB connector is used to connect the module with a computer. The
address and control switches next to the GPIB connector determine the GPIB
address of your module. The switches are preset to a default address and
recognized by the operating software from Agilent Technologies.
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 next to the GPIB
connector.
Never use cables other than the ones supplied by Agilent Technologies to ensure proper
functionality and compliance with safety or EMC regulations.
If a Agilent 1100/1200 series detector (DAD/MWD/FLD/VWD/RID) is in the system, the
LAN should be 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.
