TIWAY I SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS
TIWAY I is a bus structure Local Area Network (LAN) designed for industrial
environments. The TIWAY I network connects a series of Texas Instruments
Programmable Controllers (P/Cs) and other devices to one or more host
computers. With the network, you can obtain, modify or replace data stored in
any of the following Siemens products:

The P/Cs are connected to a TIWAY I network through Network Interface
Modules (NIMs). The PM550 P/C can also be connected with a Computer
Interface Module (CIM), but it limits the configuration choices. The UNILINK
Secondary Adapter is a TIWAY I interface device that allows other devices, such
as the following, to be connected to a TIWAY I network.

TIWAY I gateways are also available for connecting the Fisher, Foxboro, and
Honeywell networks to TIWAY I. However, you cannot use a gateway and a
UNILINK Host Adapter in the same TIWAY I network. TIWAY I is designed to
satisfy today’s factory requirements for acquiring data and controlling
manufacturing processes. It is a noise-hardened serial binary communications
network that uses an advanced data link protocol.

Series 500 controllers can be connected with PEERLINK
for high speed
transfer of small amounts of data between controllers. The PEERLINK is a
solution for applications where one or more Series 500 controllers are
dependent on high speed transfer of data from another Series 500 controller.
