ATLAS-II CONFIGURATIONS
The Atlas-II control system supports two bus segments. Up to three Atlas I/O modules may be used (two if
technologies and two "stacks" of modules: the PowerSense is present).

The Atlas-II control system incorporates an SNTP Engineering and
version-4-compliant timeserver that enables the control HMI Service Access
to be synchronized to within 1 millisecond of any other
external time source. Time stamping of sequence of

events can be accomplished to within 5 ms resolution.
Fieldbus technologies provide the ultimate flexibility in
control I/O and distributed intelligence. The Atlas-II
platform embraces this trend while still providing on-
board I/O for those signals that are not commercially or
technically ready for fieldbus distribution.
