The IC300ETN100 ethernet communications module was designed so that various modules within the SmartStack line could be connected to it and therefore have ethernet capabilities. This module uses a 10 Base-T Ethernet type communication port, which means that it is meant to connect directly to the 10 Base-T network. The IC300ETN100 ethernet communications module supports either half or full duplex modes and has a global data buffer of 64 kilobytes. The module will produce the following data types: data and status. Related to that, the module will consume the following data types: data, status, and timestamp.
The IC300ETN100 ethernet communications module can have up to a possible 127 exchanges. These exchanges can be produced, consumed, or a combination of the two. One of these exchanges will have a size of 1,400 bytes. This size is the sum of the data type lengths of all of the data elements compiled in the list. Lastly, the IC300ETN100 ethernet communications module can have up 32 open connections at any time. An open connection is defined as an IP address or a group that is either produced or consumed.
When you are installing the IC300ETN100 ethernet communications module, be sure to disconnect all power from the CAN port, OCS controller, and any other equipment that may be connected to the local system before connecting the IC300ETN100 ethernet communications module. You will want to use Belden 8917, 16 AWG wire type or larger.
