EMERSON IC697CMM741 Series 90-70 MMS or TCP/IP Ethernet LAN Interface

The Ethernet Controller is a member of the family of IC651 Factory LAN hardware and software products. The Factory LAN family of products provides high performance solutions for interconnecting automation controllers and for integrating them into multi-vendor networks. The Ethernet Controller plugs into a single slot in an IC697 PLC rack and provides an 802.3-standard 15-pin D-connector for attachment of a user-supplied AUI (Attachment Unit Interface) or transceiver cable. The AUI cable connects to a user-supplied transceiver that is directly connected to the 10?bps Ethernet network cable. The transceiver must be 802.3-compatible and must have the SQE option enabled. Transceivers are commercially available to operate on a variety of 10?bps media including thickwire coaxial cable (10Base5), ThinWire coaxial cable (10Base2), twisted pair (10BaseT), fiber optic (10BaseF), and broadband cable (10Broad36). The Ethernet Controller is designed so the communications protocols which operate above the Ethernet data link layer are implemented in software.
