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 an 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.
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 at the rear of the
module. Refer to Communication Settings for RS-232C.
The RS-232C is designed as DCE (data communication equipment) with a
9-pin male SUB-D type connector. The pins are defined as:
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.
There is no configuration possible on main boards with on-board LAN. These are
pre-configured for
• 19200 baud,
• 8 data bit with no parity and
• one start bit and one stop bit are always used (not selectable).
