  • Humidity: 5% to 95% non-condensing

Functional Features:

  • Provides multiple network interface options for flexible system integration.
  • Supports Ethernet Global Data for high-speed data exchange.
  • Includes comprehensive station management and diagnostic tools accessible via RS-232 or Ethernet.
  • Allows full PLC programming and configuration over the network.

Application Scenarios:

  • Networked control systems requiring high-speed data exchange.
  • Integration with SCADA and MES systems for enterprise connectivity.
  • Remote monitoring and programming of PLCs over LANs.

Performance Parameters:

  • Ensures reliable Ethernet communication in industrial environments.
  • Handles multiple network connections and data streams efficiently.

Material and Structural Characteristics:

  • Single-slot module with robust connectors for network and serial ports.
  • Industrial-grade components for long-term reliability.

Working Principle: The module bridges the PLC backplane and an Ethernet LAN, encapsulating PLC data into TCP/IP frames and vice versa. It manages network traffic and provides services such as global data exchange and station management. Installation Requirements:

  • Install in any available slot in a Series 90-70 rack.
  • Configure IP addresses and network parameters using Station Manager.
  • Connect appropriate network media to one of the ports (only one port active at a time).

Usage Notes:

  • Ensure only one network port is actively connected; the module auto-detects the active port.
  • Use proper Ethernet cabling and grounding to avoid signal degradation.
  • Update firmware as needed to maintain compatibility and security.
