Ethernet interface Z
The device is equipped with 1 Ethernet interface. The data are exchanged via the RJ45 plug connector.
Further Technical data see chapter
The device features an internal Ethernet switch. It is therefore possible to connect a Y-cable to the Ethernet
interface in order to cascade devices with an Ethernet interface. You can enable or disable the internal
Ethernet switch in the parameterization. If you use a Y cable and the internal Ethernet switch, the device can
be connected with a SICAM I/O Unit. This device combination can be connected with the process control via
the second connector of the Y cable and an external Ethernet switch.
