Functions

The IC697CMM742 Ethernet Interface (Type 2)

provides high performance TCP/IP communications for

the IC697 PLC.

The Ethernet Interface (Type 2) plugs into a single slot

in an IC697 PLC rack and is configured with the IC641

PLC programming software.  Up to four Ethernet

Interface (Type 2) modules can be installed in an IC697

PLC CPU rack.

The Ethernet Interface (Type 2) contains three network

ports: 10BaseT (RJ-45 connector), 10Base2 (BNC

connector), and AUI (15-pin D-connector).

The Ethernet Interface automatically selects the network

port in use.  One network port may be used at a time.

The 10BaseT network port permits direct connection to

a 10BaseT (twisted pair) network hub or repeater

without an external transceiver.

The 10Base2 network port permits direct connection to

a 10Base2 (ThinWire ) network without an external

transceiver.

The AUI network port permits attachment of a user

supplied AUI (Attachment Unit Interface, or transceiver) cable.

The AUI cable connects the Ethernet Interface to a user-supplied transceiver

that is directly connected to the 10Mbps Ethernet network.

The transceiver must be 802.3 compatible and must have the SQE option enabled.
