Using The Ethernet Port - GE VersaMax IC200CPUE05 Manual

CPU with Embedded Ethernet Interface
IC200CPUE05

Using the Ethernet Port

The built-in Ethernet interface makes it possible to communicate on a 10BaseT network. The CPUE05 supports half-
duplex and full-duplex operation; operation is automatically sensed without user configuration. Using 10/100 hubs
allows communication on a network containing 100Mb devices.
The Ethernet interface can be used to:
▪
Send and receive Ethernet Global Data. Ethernet Global Data can be used for highly efficient periodic data
transfer on the LAN. The CPU supports up to 32 simultaneous Ethernet Global Data exchanges. Global Data
exchanges are configured using the PLC programming software, then stored to the PLC. Both Produced and
Consumed exchanges may be configured. Supports up to 1200 data ranges across all Ethernet Global Data
exchanges, and supports selective consumption of Ethernet Global Data exchanges.
▪
Access CPU data from a host computer or other PLC. CPU supports up to eight simultaneous SRTP Server
connections for use by other SRTP client devices on the Ethernet network.
▪
Communicate simultaneously to multiple devices. The multiplexing capabilities of the Ethernet interface, along
with the Ethernet network's high capacity, allow the CPU to communicate with several other devices at the
same time.
▪
Indirectly attach to other Local Area Networks and/or wide area networks via third party IP routers.
Communicate with remote PLCs and other nodes via an IP Router.
▪
Communicate with remote computers via PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) or SLIP (Serial Line Protocol) using
modems and/or serial lines. Using third party PPP or SLIP devices, a remote host computer can be attached to a
TCP/IP network.
Ethernet LAN Port
The 10BaseT twisted pair shielded cable must meet applicable IEEE 802 standards. Category 5 is recommended.
Station Manager Functionality
Built-in Station Manager functionality permits on-line diagnostic and supervisory access through either Port 1 or via
Ethernet. Station Manager services include:
▪
An interactive set of commands for interrogating and controlling the station.
Unrestricted access to observe internal statistics, an exception log, and configuration parameters
▪
Password security for commands that change station parameters or operation.
▪
Use of the Station Manager function requires a separate computer terminal or terminal emulator.
