Overview 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 modules have either an interface slot for a LAN card (e.g. Agilent G1369B/C 
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 PC with the appropriate control software. Some modules 
have neither on-board LAN nor an interface slot for a LAN card (e.g. G1170A 
Valve Drive or G4227A Flexible Cube). These are hosted modules and require a 
Host module with firmware B.06.40 or later or with additional G1369C LAN Card.
USB
The USB interface replaces the RS-232 Serial interface in new FUSION generation 
modules. For details on USB refer to “USB (Universal Serial Bus)” on page 257.
Analog Signal Output
The analog signal output can be distributed to a recording device. For details 
refer to the description of the module’s mainboard.
If an Agilent 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.
