Note
The primary Ethernet port for each Gateway should be connected to separate network
switches on the same process control network. Consult a control system administrator for
more details about available redundant network switches.
D.4.3
Simplex RS-485
A simplex RS-485 host connection supports Modbus RTU protocol. When using this
architecture, connect the secondary Ethernet port on Gateway A directly to the secondary
Ethernet port on Gateway B. Then wire the RS-485 ports for both Gateways in parallel to a
single serial card at the host system. See Figure D-5 Simplex RS-485 Architecture.
