1.6 Conditions without an Information Network
For Ethernet communication, we usually recommend that you use an information network
that is independent from Vnet/IP. However, you can perform Ethernet communication by
usingVnet/IPbus2withouttheinformationnetworkifallthefollowingconditionsare
satised:
• A system is composed of only Vnet/IP network and has no connection with V net or
VL net via V net router.
• Asystemincludesnoneofthefollowings–Exaopc(*1),HIS-TSE,UGS(*2),SIOS,
GSGW, or APCS.
• NointegrationwithProSafe-RS.
• WhenusingPRM,PRMserverandeldcommunicationsserverrunonthesamePC,
and PRM client runs on a PC with Vnet/IP Interface Card, such as HIS or PC on which
eldcommunicationsserverruns.
• 16orlessPCswithVnet/IPinterfacecardforHISandENG.(*3)
• Instruments connected with L2SW for Bus 2 are Vnet/IP interface card’s Bus 2 port
mountedonthePC,anetworkprinter(*4),andaleserver(*4)only.
*1: NTPF100 Exaopc OPC Interface Package (refer to GS 36J02A10-01E). This condition is not applied for LHS2411 Exaopc OPC
Interface Package (for HIS).
*2: For the dual-redundant conguration of UGS, it is strongly recommended to perform Ethernet communication by the network
connected to a UGS’s Ethernet card, and do not use Vnet/IP Bus 2 communication. For more information about the dual-
redundant conguration of UGS, refer to “LBC1501 Dual-redundant Package (for UGS)” (GS 33K20C10-50E).
*3: When the number of PC with Vnet/IP interface card exceeds 16, it is suggested to perform Ethernet communication by the
network connected to a PC’s Ethernet card, and do not use Vnet/IP Bus 2 communication. When the number of PC exceeds 50,
this method is strongly recommended.
*4: When the Vnet/IP Bus 2 performs Ethernet communication, it is possible to connect a network printer or a leserver to the Vnet/
IP Bus 2. However, the sum of the communication band by these equipments should not exceed 300 Mbps.
Open communication refers to the information network communication that is performed
through Vnet/IP bus 2. In Vnet/IP, bus 1 usually performs control communication and bus 2
performs open communication. However, when bus 1 fails, bus 2 performs both control and open
communications.
For more information about using Vnet/IP bus 2 to perform information network communication,
refer to Chapter 3 of this document.
