Ethernet port on Gateway A directly to the secondary Ethernet port on Gateway B. Then
connect the primary Ethernet ports for both Gateways to a process control network using sepa-
rate/redundant network switches. See Figure D-4 Ethernet Connection Architecture.
Figure D-4. Ethernet Connection Architecture
Note
The primary Ethernet port for each Gateway should be connected to separate network switches
on the same process control network. Consult a control system administrator for more details
about available redundant network switches.
Simplex RS-485
A simplex RS-485 host connection supports Modbus RTU protocol. When using this
architecture, connect the secondary Ethernet port on Gateway A directly to the secondary
Ethernet port on Gateway B. Then wire the RS-485 ports for both Gateways in parallel to a single
serial card at the host system. See Figure D-5 Simplex RS-485 Architecture.
