100BASE-TX
Standard for communication on Ethernet over unshielded twisted pair
lines with RJ45 connectors and a Baud_rate of 100 MBit/s (according
to the IEEE 802. specification)
10BASE-T
Standard for communication on Ethernet over twisted pair lines with
RJ45 connectors and a Baud_rate of 10 MBit/s (according to the
IEEE 802.3 specification).
Auto crossover
Auto crossover is a feature of interfaces. An interface with auto-
crossover functionality automatically detects and corrects if the data
lines are reversed.

several Ethernet channels
Ch1
Ethernet channel 1 (or port 1) of an Ethernet RJ45 socket with
providing Ethernet channels

EtherCAT Slave
Device which is configured by the EtherCAT master, receives data
telegrams containing output data, executes commands issued by the
EtherCAT master and provides input and status data
EtherNet/IP
Communication system for industrial Ethernet designed and
developed by Rockwell that partly uses the CIP (common industrial
protocol)
EtherNet/IP Adapter
Exchanges real-time I/O data with a Scanner Class product and does
not initiate connections on its own
Hub
Network component connecting multiple communication partners with
each other, but does not provide own intelligence, thus it does not
