Connecting a remote Ethernet Interface module
The optionally integrated Interface module of the MCUDH Ex-3K control unit allows the
connection of further optional Ethernet Interface modules via an up to 1000 m long RS485
connection line outside the Ex-area, based on the RS485 output of the internal Interface
module (
see “Options for MCUDH Ex-3K control unit”, page 127
). For such a connection,
the remote Ethernet module must be set to the same IPv4 network address used in the
network in which the Ethernet connection is connected. The documentation supplied with
the optional Ethernet module contains the necessary information. No software updates are
possible via the Ethernet interface, these must be carried out via the Service interface (
