FEATURES

• INFI-NET provides a plantwide communication network.

INFI-NET time synchronizes the control process plantwide.

• Each node can operate independently of other INFI-NET

nodes. INFI-NET communication modules provide localized

start-up/shutdown on power failure without operator

intervention.

• Response time is fast. The ten-megabaud loop communica

tion rate gives timely information exchange.

• The INFI-NET interface modules handle four message

types: Broadcast, time synchronization, multicast and NIS

poll. All messages contain cyclic redundancy check codes

(CRC) and checksums to insure data integrity.
