3500/91 EGD Communication Gateway Module
Description
The 3500/91 EGD (Ethernet Global Data) Communication Gateway modules
provide comprehensive communication capabilities of 3500 rack-monitored
values and status. This Ethernet network path provides information with
response times suitable for controller applications. Using the 3500/91 EGD
Gateway provides for integration with EGD protocol compatible controllers (e.g.
GE Mark™ VIe controllers, etc).
Supported protocols include:
• EGD (version 2.01)
• Ethernet UDP/IP
The Ethernet standards supported by the 3500/91 I/O modules are IEEE802.3 for
10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX (twisted pair), and IEEE 802.3u for 100BASE-FX (fiber
optic).

Ordering Information
Ordering Considerations
Version 3.70 (release pending) or higher of 3500 Rack
Configuration Software is required.
The 3500/91 EGD requires a 3500/22M TDI to communicate
with monitor modules.
Only 1 EGD per rack is allowed.
Version 1.20 (release pending) or higher of TDI (3500/22M)
firmware is required.
For consumed exchange support, version 2.21 (release
pending) or higher of 4-Channel firmware is required.
