64 Appendix A Triconex Peer-to-Peer Communication<br />
Overview<br />
Triconex Peer-to-Peer protocol is designed to allow multiple Triconex 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 an Ethernetport on theCM. The controllers exchange data by<br />
using Send and Receive function blocks in their TriStation 1131 applications.<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, Triconex 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 65.<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 />
