1. Introduction
1. Introduction
ISOLATOR has been designed to ease the problems often presented when large VNET systems are
constructed. Specifically it addresses the following issues :
· The possibility that mains earth potentials exceeding +/-15V exists between different network nodes
· Large amounts of electrical noise and interference may be present on the network cables
· Wiring faults on the network cable damaging other network nodes
· It is desired to create networks that have a large ‘star’ topology
· It is desired to use screw terminal terminated wiring to construct the network
· It is desired to be able to install and test the main ‘backbone’ network cable without the presence of
other equipment (including ISOLATORS)
As It’s name implies ISOLATOR limits these problems by making it possible to galvanically isolate different
parts of the network from each other and from the controlling computer system. When any of the above
situations can be anticipated then ISOLATORS should be incorporated in to the design of the network.
For systems which incorporate AES3 over VNET (VNET2), please contact you vendor for details of how to
set the internal jumpers inside the Isolator. Please be aware that some of the application examples shown
in this document are not applicable to VNET2 systems.
