The IMC-BHx-AC family of media converters allow for the simultaneous multi-
drop transport of EtherNet/IP
™ and Remote I/O data over repurposed Belden
9463 “Blue Hose” cabling.
Each Master (IMC-BHM-AC) and Slave (IMC-BHS-AC) module supports Remote
I/O networks operating at 57.6K or 115.2K baud rates. The modules are
automatically configured to the baud rate of the remote I/O data.
Three Ethernet ports are also available on the Master and Slave modules
allowing up to three Ethernet devices to be connected to the media converter
before a switch is required.
Both EtherNet/IP
™ and Remote I/O data are simultaneously encoded by the
Master or Slave module into a modulated broadband signal that is transported
via a baseband subcarrier over the repurposed “Blue Hose” cabling. The
complex waveform carrying EtherNet/IP and Remote I/O data is then received by
the Master or Slave module and the original EtherNet/IP and Remote I/O data is
decoded.
