MODULE INSTALLATION
The module has two Ethernet ports located at the lower front of the module. There are also two ports
at the bottom of the module for RS232/RS485 serial and power. The power port uses a three-way
connector which is used for the DC power supply positive and negative (or ground) voltage as well as
the earth connection. The at the front of the module there is a 5-way connector which is used for the
CANopen network and can also be used for power. Both bottom and front power connectors can be
plugged in at the same time.
The nine-way connector is used to connect the RS232 and RS485 conductors for serial
communication. The shield terminal can be used for shielded cable in high noise environments.
