62 Appendix A <strong>Triconex</strong> Peer-to-Peer Communication<br />

Overview<br />

<strong>Triconex</strong> Peer-to-Peer protocol is designed to allow multiple <strong>Triconex</strong> controllers in a closed<br />

network to exchange safety-critical data. (If you plan to implement a complex Peer-to-Peer<br />

network, please contact the Invensys Global Customer Support (GCS) center.) To enable Peerto-Peer<br />

communication, you must connect each controller (also referred to as a node) to an<br />

Ethernet network by means of port on the. The controllers exchange data by using Send and<br />

Receive function blocks in their TriStation 1131 applications.<br />

Basic <strong>Triconex</strong> Peer-to-Peer Network<br />

To configure a TriStation 1131 application <strong>for</strong> Peer-to-Peer communication, you must do the<br />

following tasks:<br />

• Configure the physical port connection <strong>for</strong> Peer-to-Peer mode<br />

• Allocate memory <strong>for</strong> Send and Receive function blocks<br />

• Add Send and Receive function blocks to your programs<br />

• Observe restrictions on data transmission speed<br />

In addition, <strong>Triconex</strong> recommends that you calculate the data transfer time to determine<br />

whether your control algorithms will operate correctly. Instructions <strong>for</strong> per<strong>for</strong>ming this<br />

calculation are provided on page 63.<br />

The sample programs described in this appendix can be found in the Tdpeer.pt2 project<br />

included as part of the TriStation 1131 software installation. These programs show how to send<br />

data at high speed and under controlled conditions.<br />
