4.10 Networking the PG 720 and Other Computers on Industrial Ethernet
Industrial Ethernet is a bus system for industrial use based on ETHERNET
(ISO 8802/3). The main features of Industrial Ethernet are speed (10 Mbps),
simple expansion, open communication, and widespread application.
Industrial Ethernet is the name of Siemens networks and network
components operating according to the CSMA / CD (ETHERNET) principle.
Industrial Ethernet is a bus-type LAN that uses a triaxial cable (H1) as its
transmission medium.
To connect or network the PG 720 with Industrial Ethernet, a
PCMCIA-ETHERNET interface module is required.
