Functional Features

Dual – port Ethernet Connectivity: It has two RJ – 45 Ethernet ports, each of which can automatically sense the data rate (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps), half – or full – duplex mode, and cabling arrangement (straight – through or crossover).
LED Indicators: Equipped with 8 LED indicators, including EOK, LAN, STAT, PS, and two indicators for each RJ – 45 port (LINK/ACT and 100 Mbps), which can be used to monitor the operation status of the module and the network connection.
Ethernet Restart Push Button: The button has two functions, performing the LED test and restarting the Ethernet interface. When pressed, it will disrupt Ethernet communications and then restart the interface, running power diagnostics and restarting the interface software to the operational state.
Station Manager Software Access: It has an RS – 232, 6 – pin, RJ – 11 port for connecting a terminal or terminal emulator to access the station manager software on the Ethernet interface, which is used for testing and troubleshooting Ethernet communications.
Automatic Data Transfer: There is automatic data transfer between PLC tables and the NIU without user programming.

Application Scenarios

Industrial Automation: It is suitable for various industrial control and automation applications, such as manufacturing, process control, and equipment automation. It can connect PLCs with other devices on the network to achieve coordinated control and data sharing in the production process.
Remote Monitoring and Control: Enables remote monitoring and control of industrial equipment and systems. For example, in a large – scale industrial plant, operators can remotely monitor the operation status of PLC – controlled devices and issue control commands through the network.
SCADA Systems: Can be integrated into Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. It allows the SCADA system to communicate with PLC – based remote I/O stations, enabling real – time data acquisition and control of the entire production process.
