Connecting Power and Data Cables
The MicrOS 410 supports wired clients connected to either or both Ethernet or serial interfaces.
The MicrOS 410 is equipped with two RJ-45 connectors that are used for Ethernet and serial
interfaces and for powering the MicrOS 410 through the use of watertight glands.
Figure 4
Data Port Connection
Determine whether you have a MicrOS 410 with two Ethernet ports or one Ethernet port and one
serial port (see
Table 1
).
Depending on the specific application, the use of one or both connectors may be required.
If you have a MicrOS 410 equipped with two Ethernet ports, either or both ports can be used for
Ethernet clients. Power must be applied on port 1.
Table 5
describes the possible wired client scenarios for a MicrOS 410 equipped with serial
interfaces.
