Communication Interfaces
See also “Simultaneous Execution with Software” on page 104 for further details
on how to operate the system using the GPIB interface.
CAN
The module to module communication is done via CAN.
MIO / LAN
This interface enables the Agilent Series modules to communicate with PCs
configured as CDS using a local area network (LAN). You can use the MIO
interface if the respective extension board (G1369C LAN Interface Card) is
installed in one of your modules (detector is recommended) or has on- board
LAN and your system is integrated in a LAN.
USB
This interface has been introduced with the Infinity II (Fusion) modules and
replaced the RS- 232 interface. The USB might be used for the Agilent Lab
Advisor (diagnostics and firmware updates) and specific modules function (e.g.
dongle for HDR).
Serial / RS-232
The module communication is enabled with the CAN cables. This interface is
also used by 3rd-party control software, and can be used for firmware upgrades.
GPIB
With the GPIB interface (included in some modules) your system is able to
communicate with a Personal Computer configured as the Agilent ChemStation.
Connect all HPLC modules with CAN cables and use one of them to connect to
the Agilent ChemStation via an GPIB cable. GPIB was removed with the
introduction 1200 Infinity modules.
