Using the LGC
The LGC is part of the LANgate family and
provides communication between a
workstation and a control module network
(CMnet) consisting of fewer than 100
modules.
The LGC communicates with the CMnet using
an EIA-485 connection. The CMnet is a peer-
to-peer network that allows all control
modules to communicate with equal
authority using a token-passing protocol.
A workstation can communicate with the LGC
directly or through a modem. The LGC
provides two EIA-232 Console Ports and an
Access Port that can be connected to a
workstation, portable computer, or a modem.
The LGC must use v6.00g or later of the LGM
module driver. For more information, see the
LGM Module Driver
document on the
Automated Logic website at
