•
Indirectly attach to other Local Area Networks and/or wide area networks via third party
IP routers. CPUE05 can communicate with remote PLCs and other nodes via an IP
Router.
•
Communicate with remote computers via Serial Line Protocol (SLIP) using modems
and/or serial lines. Using third party SLIP devices, a remote host computer can be
attached to a TCP/IP network. Once attached, the serial communications can be routed
over the Ethernet interface to the CPUE05.
•
Maintain compatibility with other devices. CPUE05 is compatible with the Emerson
Series 90-30 Ethernet Interface, Series 90-30 CPU364 Embedded Ethernet Interface,
and Series 90-70 Ethernet Interface (Type 2). It is also compatible with Emerson
programming packages supporting TCP/IP Ethernet communications.
13.1.1
Ethernet Global Data
CPUE05 also supports up to 32 simultaneous Ethernet Global Data exchanges. Ethernet
Global Data exchanges are configured using the PLC programming software, then stored to
the PLC. Both Produced and Consumed exchanges may be configured. CPUE05 supports up
to 1200 data ranges across all Ethernet Global Data exchanges, and can be configured for
selective consumption of Ethernet Global Data exchanges.
13.1.2
SRTP Server
CPUE05 supports up to eight simultaneous SRTP Server connections for use by other devices
on the Ethernet network, such as the PLC programmer, CIMPLICITY HMI, SRTP channels for
Series 90 PLCs, and Host Communications Toolkit applications. No PLC programming is
required for server operation.
13.1.3
SRTP Channels
SRTP Channels can be used by a Series 90-30 or Series 90-70 PLC to communicate with
CPUE05. The CPUE05 cannot initiate SRTP channels.
13.1.4
Attachment to the Ethernet LAN
The Ethernet port uses a twisted pair cable of up to 100 meters in length between each node
and a hub or repeater. Typical hubs or repeaters support 4 to 12 nodes connected in a star
wiring topology.
