maxNET Communications Network

maxNET, the maxDNA dual Ethernet Network, interconnects all maxSTATIONs and DPUs allowing access to all plant data.

maxNET Network provides a 10/100mbps full-duplex redundant communication network backbone with 10/100 Mbps interface to each station. Should a network fail for any reason, communications will be maintained over the alternate network. Any cable failure will cause a system alarm.
maxDNA system also supports printers located on the maxNET Network that can be used by the maxSTATIONs. Each printer is connected to one network using a network print server (built in OR through Parallel port) to receive print information over the Ethernet. One Printer is connected to only one of the two Ethernet networks. If redundancy is required, then a second print server/printer is connected to the other network.

maxNET Communications Network

Proven Industry Standard, Switched Fast Ethernet. Fast Ethernet Switches are used for interconnecting all nodes of the maxNET network. Ultra high speed (10/100 Mbps) redundant network, which allows simultaneous communications in both directions for maximum performance. Multiple simultaneous communication Utilises intelligent switching

Multiple simultaneous communications Redundant configuration No failure can disable multiple stations Standard hardware Simple installation High reliability

Why Use a Switch?

Increase network bandwidth Permits simultaneous connections Connect 10Mbps to 100Mbps networks - speed buffering Increase physical size of 100Mbps network

Switch has nothing to do with failover
