5-1 Overview
Due to their flexibility, the Genesis II Direct Digital Controller and MPCII Mid Points Controller, and
associated REMs, can be connected in any of several equipment configurations based on the system’s
operational requirements.
In the simplest configuration, a single digital controller unit acts as a standalone controller for the
unit. More complex installations use multiple digital controllers, with REMs, and share data between
themselves and/or a computer.
In these applications, communication between the digital controllers is facilitated by a Global
Points link bus system and communication with computers is by standard RS485 network (Ethernet
Connection option available for Genesis II Direct Digital Controller).
Refer to the Innotech Website for the current models of Genesis products and the most recent
datasheets.
