Notes on System Architecture
The Andover Infinet Driver provides communication
between the APOGEE
®
Automation System and the
Andover Infinity or Continuum system.
The recommended maximum number of devices that
can be supported with one driver, through the Infinet
bus, is 50.
Functionality
The Andover Infinet Driver can be loaded into PXC
Modular hardware. The driver is a microprocessor-
based, multitasking platform designed for multi-
system communication and control. It communicates
with Insight® software, other APOGEE field panels
and controllers, and the Andover system.
Through the Insight workstation, the Andover points
can be monitored and commanded. The Andover
points integrated into the APOGEE Automation
System can be accessed by system applications such
as Powers Process Control Language, scheduling,
trending, and alarming.
The Andover Infinet Driver will not affect, in any way,
the operating sequence or safeties as factory
programmed into the Andover system.
Keys to Success
Ensure that all Andover equipment to be integrated is
supported by the Andover Infinet Driver.
Benefits
Systems integration brings the powerful facility control
capabilities of the APOGEE Automation System together
with the Andover system. Integrating the Andover points
allows both systems to operate as a single system
providing marked advantages in the following:
 Reduced operating and training costs.
 Increased employee productivity.
 Increased diagnostic capabilities to extend
equipment life.
 Improved systems information and control.
 Maximized energy savings.
 Improved systems information and control.
 Maximized energy savings.

Andover Infinet Driver include:
 System Control Units (SCX 9xx, and i29xx)
 Local Control Units (LCX 8xx, i281x, i280x, and
i26xx)
 Terminal Control Units (TCX 8xx, i288x, i286x, and
