Lets You Focus on Improvements


TPS Nodes: Original & Current State

• Platform changes (PC slot changes) forcing re-design of LCNP cards

• T-nodes cannot be virtualized

• Control network (LCN) cannot be limited to cabinet room

Challenges LCN Nodes

Enhanced T-Nodes: Physical Computer

LCN Nodes

FTE

ETN

ETN connects to

both LCN and FTE.

• Platform changes does not force a redesign on LCNP cards

• T-nodes can be virtualized

• Control network (LCN) can be limited to cabinet room

Benefits

Station connects to LCN via FTE & ETN


Installing K4LCN Board

• Installing the K4LCN board in a Dual Node module

• The only K4LCN board variant identified/supported

for ETN is K4LCN-16.


Fault Tolerant Ethernet

• FTE device index switches on ETNI

Connect the FTE A and FTE B Ethernet cables to the

ETNI I/O card


Installing ETNI Board

• Installing the ETNI board in a Dual Node module


Configuration

• TPS Configuration Utility and LCNP Status Applet

for ETN Nodes


Choice of where to mount the ETNI

Leave it in your Stations

• Easy option for

Migrating a Universal

Station

• Replace EPDG IO

with ETNI

• Great option for

virtualizing stations

Move them to the

instrumentation room in

Either LCN or Dell

Cabinet

• Consolidate LCN runs

• Reduce heat/power in

control room


Virtual TPS nodes using ETN

• Virtual machine on a server that connects to the

K4LCN-ETNI processor boards through the FTE.

• Thin clients are used to provide user interaction with

virtual machines.

Summary

• Flexible Solutions You Can Live With and Grow With… ‒ Secure, well-planned modernization path for LCN users

‒ Migrations tailored to unique site requirements

‒ No need to “rip and replace” existing control systems

‒ Protect intellectual property

‒ Retain physical assets

‒ Leverage the value of

technology investments
