Working Principle:
The module processes network traffic, routing data between the controller and field devices. It also executes local control logic, reducing the processing burden on the main CPU.
Installation Requirements:
- Configure network parameters (IP, baud rate, node ID) before installation.
- Use certified network cables and connectors.
- Ensure proper termination of network buses.
Usage Precautions:
- Avoid connecting to networks with incompatible protocols.
- Monitor network diagnostics for packet errors or collisions.
- Backup configuration before performing firmware updates.
