Architecture selection

There are three types of modules which are supported by the system time stamping solution, including the M340/eX80ERT, eX80CRA, and M580 CPU. In the system time stamping architecture, OFS is used to automatically transfer the events from the time stamping module to the SCADA. As the time stamping module and OFS are on separate subnets, it is necessary to select a router to link these two subnets.

• In the standalone architecture, either select the NOC control module or a third-party router connected to the CPU service port/NOC module which is linked to RIO network to set up the connection between OFS and the time stamping module.

• In the HSBY architecture, either select the NOC control module as a router, or select a third-party router directly connected to the RIO network to set up the connection between OFS and the time stamping module.
