Communications 
System 
The Advance Communication System (ACS) is a high-speed 
communications system that uses TCP / IP protocols and addressing to 
interconnect chromatographs and other process analyzers in a common 
network. Figure 1-1 shows the Advance DataNET Hub (DNH), Advance 
Network Access Unit (NAU) and Advance Network Gateway (ANG) 
connected to the ACS. The NAU connects to the ACS and provides a 
method to access information coming from Advance process analyzers 
including Advance Maxum and Advance Optichrom GC’s. The ANG is 
used to connect Siemens’ equipment residing on an Advance Data 
Hiway to the ACS.  
 
Advance Optichrom 
GC’s 
Advance Optichrom Service Panels and older APC workstations can 
display Advance Maxum GC information over the Gateway link. They 
are, however, limited to only accessing and changing basic operational 
status. This data includes alarms, run/hold/calibrate, view, analysis 
results etc.
