- Working Principle:
- Similar to IC697CPM790 but with a single Ethernet controller. The CPU writes data to the module’s dual-port RAM via the Genius Bus. The Ethernet controller encapsulates data into TCP/IP packets and transmits via the RJ-45 port. Incoming packets are decapsulated and payload written to dual-port RAM for CPU access. The embedded web server runs on a small RTOS within the module’s processor.
- Installation Requirements:
- Mount in IC697 chassis
- Connect Cat5e/Cat6 cable to RJ-45 port
- Configure IP settings in PLC software
- Enable the Ethernet port in CPU configuration
- Usage Precautions:
- Use shielded cable in noisy environments
- Do not exceed 100m cable length
- Set static IP or use DHCP consistently
- Do not expose the web server to untrusted networks without authentication
- Keep firmware updated
