Networking
The SC controller support the AUDI XML, PFCS, NPL, TOOLSNET, OPEN, Toyota PI (for controllers with serial
ports) and FORD protocols. Ethernet and the Internet Protocol using Transport Control Protocol are a powerful
and robust means of moving data from one computer to another. Many end users rely on it to collect information
from plant floor equipment. For those that haven't switched to this more robust means of collecting data, SC
controllers are available with a serial connection supporting PFCS, OPEN, and Toyota PI Protocols.

Navigation
The SC controllers have touch screen display on the front of the controller used to facilitate menu navigation,
make selections, and input data.
The SCN controllers do not have any way to navigate or input data from the controller's front panel. These
controllers are programmed using the embedded software called Alpha Toolbox. "See Chapter Configuration
[} 37]" to learn how to use this software.
