Overview
Quantum systems provide multiple choices for open, standards-based networking
and fieldbus connectivity requirements. The Quantum supported networks include:
z Modbus
z Modbus Plus
z Remote I/O
z TCP/IP Ethernet
z SY/MAX Ethernet
z MMS Ethernet
z Interbus
z LonWorks
z SERCOS
Combinations of these networks can be used to provide simple, high performance
communication architectures which meet the tightly integrated needs of computer
and controller connectivity. A summary of the services available on these networks
is shown in the following table.
