• IMB Interface: Connects to the Inter-Module Bus (IMB) via the T8151 Communications Interface using 100BASE-T Ethernet.

• Ports:

  • 2× 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet (one for IMB, one for client networks).

  • 1× RS-232 Serial.

• OS: Licensed Microsoft Windows XP Professional.

• Mounting: Single slot in Trusted™ Controller/Expander Chassis; redundant power from backplane.

• Adapter: Requires T8173 Gateway Adaptor (rear connections, keyboard/mouse/video support).

Primary Use Case

• Hosts the Trusted™ OPC Server (Data Access V1.0/V2.0, Alarms & Events V1.0).

• Allows OPC clients to access system status and send commands over Ethernet.

2. Features

• Operating System: Windows XP Professional.

• Ethernet: Two 10/100 Mbps ports (1× IMB, 1× client LAN).

• Serial: RS-232 port for legacy devices.

• Storage: 12 GB hard disk.

• Software: Optional OPC Server; configured via Windows XP Remote Desktop.

• Environmental:

  • Temperature: -20°C to +60°C.

  • Power: Max 15 W, redundant backplane feed.

3. Installation

3.1 Module Placement

• Insert into any vacant slot in a Trusted™ chassis (controller or expander).

• Secure with chassis locking mechanism.

3.2 Connections (via T8173 Adaptor)

• IMB Ethernet: Port 1 → T8151 (100BASE-T).

• Client Ethernet: Port 2 → LAN (10/100BASE-T).

• Serial: RS-232 to modem/terminal.

• Peripherals: PS/2 keyboard/mouse, VGA video (via T8173).

4. Configuration

4.1 Network Setup (Windows XP)

1. Connect a Windows XP PC to the T8170’s client Ethernet port.

2. Use Remote Desktop to access the T8170 (default: enabled).

3. Configure:

   • IP Address: Static (e.g., 192.168.1.100).

   • Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0.

   • Gateway: As per LAN topology.

4.2 OPC Server Installation

1. Install Trusted™ OPC Server via Remote Desktop.

2. Configure OPC tags to map to Trusted™ controller variables.

3. Enable Data Access and Alarms & Events services.

5. Operation

5.1 Front Panel LEDs

• PWR: Power (solid = OK, flashing = fault).

• IMB: IMB Ethernet activity (flashing = traffic).

• LAN: Client Ethernet activity.

• SYS: System status (solid = healthy, flashing = error).

5.2 OPC Client Access

• Connect OPC clients (e.g., SCADA, HMI) to T8170’s LAN IP.

• Browse OPC tags; read/write controller data.

6. Fault Finding & Maintenance

6.1 Common Issues

• No Power: Check chassis redundant power supply.

• IMB Link Down: Verify T8151 connection; use T8173 adaptor.

• OPC Connection Failed: Check Windows firewall; verify OPC server config.

6.2 Backup

• Regularly back up Windows XP system and OPC configuration via Remote Desktop.

7. Specifications

8. Safety Notes

• Install in a controlled environment (avoid dust, moisture, extreme temps).

• Disconnect power before installation/removal.

• Use only T8173 Gateway Adaptor.
