The M4-family controller connects to a SNAP brain with automation software. If configured for redundant operation, you a single, twisted-pair cable daisy-chained from the M4DUALARC can use dual twisted-pair cable or maintain two completely card to each SNAP brain. separate data links. For convenience, screw-type connectors and RJ-11 modular jacks are provided, eliminating the need for special cable connections.

If this redundant configuration is used and you want to connect the M4 controller to a host PC, you must install an Opto 22 M4SARC, M4SARCF, or M4SARCFR interface card for ARCNET communication with the PC. The use of a single twisted-pair node to talk to brains is also supported. The example below shows node 0 used for host-to-controller communication, and shows node 1 used to talk to “HA” style SNAP brains. (M4-family controller firmware currently does not support redundant communication with the host.) Note: M4DUALARC card nodes are designated 0 and 1, but these should not be mistaken with the node IDs. Each ARCNET node in the controller has a node ID; it is the same as the controller’s address.
