This expansion module gives you the possibility to communicate with all the Ethernet protocols: It is easy to change between; EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Profinet, Modbus TCP and EtherNet Powerlink.
By using non-proprietary protocols, automation systems from different manufacturers can be interconnected throughout a process plant.
Industrial Ethernet takes advantage of the relatively larger marketplace for computer interconnections to reduce cost and improve performance of communications between industrial controllers.
Industrial Ethernet (IE) components used in plant process areas must be designed to work in harsh environments of temperature extremes, humidity, and vibration that exceed the ranges for IT equipment intended for installation in controlled environments.
