Overview of the Ethernet Interface
VersaMax CPU model IC200CPUE05 has a built-in Ethernet interface that makes it possible
to communicate on a 10BaseT network in either halfduplex or full-duplex mode.
Using 10/100 hubs allows CPUE05 to communicate on a network containing 100Mb
devices.

Use the Ethernet interface to:
•
Send and receive Ethernet Global Data. Ethernet Global Data can be used for highly
efficient periodic data transfer on the LAN.
•
Access data from CPUE05 using a Host computer. Computer applications can access
data from CPUE05 through its SRTP server capability.
•
Communicate simultaneously to multiple devices. The multiplexing capabilities of
Ethernet interface, along with Ethernet network’s high capacity, allow CPUE05 to
communicate with several other devices at the same time.
