- Internal vertical heat dissipation channel, passive natural heat dissipation without cooling fan
- All wiring interfaces are arranged on the front side, no need to reserve rear wiring space
- Anti-electrostatic discharge circuit built-in at Ethernet port to resist field static interference
Working Principle
- After being inserted into PLC backplane, establish high-speed data interaction channel with CPU through internal backplane bus
- NETX100 chip encapsulates PLC logic output data into PROFINET standard real-time data frames, forward to each IO slave station through dual-port switch
- Receive process feedback data from slave equipment, decode and transmit to PLC CPU for closed-loop control operation
- Continuously detect Ethernet link electrical signals, once link disconnection, packet loss or network ring fault occurs, trigger alarm flag bit and light ERROR indicator
- Support DCP automatic IP assignment function, automatically identify newly connected PROFINET slave devices during engineering commissioning
Installation Requirements

- Installed inside closed electrical cabinet with protection grade ≥IP54, avoid dust and moisture invasion
- Network cable uses CAT5e industrial shielded Ethernet cable, maximum single segment cable length 100m
- When adopting linear daisy-chain topology, connect equipment sequentially through PNIO1 and PNIO2 dual ports of modules
- Reserve 10mm heat dissipation gap on both sides of the module, cannot be closely attached to high-power heating modules
- Shielded layer of Ethernet cable single-point connected to cabinet protection ground to eliminate electromagnetic interference
