DeviceNet Network Control Module
The DeviceNet Network Control Module (IC200BEM103) is a communications
module that can be configured to operate as a master, as a slave, or as both
simultaneously. It can exchange up to 512 bytes of input data and 512 bytes of
output data with other devices on the DeviceNet network. The VersaMax PLC
CPU can read and write this data as though it were conventional bit- and word-
type I/O data.
The Network Control Module operates as a Group 2 Only Client (master) and
can communicate only with Group 2 Slave devices. It can also operate as a
Group 2 Only or a UCMM-capable Server (slave), or as a master and slave
simultaneously.

Asi Network Master Module
The VersaMax AS-Interface Network Master (IC200BEM104) conforms to the
AS-Interface Specification for the master AS-Interface protocol. It can be used
to connect a VersaMax PLC or I/O station NIU to an Actuator-Sensor network.
The AS-Interface module supports communications with up to 31 slave devices,
exchanging to exchange up to 4 bits of input data and 4 bits of output data per
slave address on the Actuator-Sensor network.

Serial Communications Module
The VersaMax Serial Communications Module, IC200CMM020, operates as a
Modbus RTU Master in a VersaMax I/O Station. The Serial Communications
module receives commands from a remote host such as an RX7i PLC.
