General information on Ethernet
The AMS 308
i
is designed as an Ethernet device (acc. to IEEE 802.3) with a standard baud
rate of 10⁄100Mbit ⁄s. A fixed MAC ID is assigned to each AMS 308
i
by the manufacturer;
this ID cannot be changed.
The AMS 308
i
automatically supports the transmission rates of 10 Mbit/s (10Base T) and
100 Mbit/s (100Base TX), as well as auto-negotiation and auto-crossover.
The AMS 308
i
features multiple M12 connectors / sockets for the electrical connection of
the supply voltage, the interface and the switching inputs and outputs. Additional
information on the electrical connection can be found in chapter 7.
The AMS 308
i
supports the following protocols and services:
• TCP / IP (Client / Server)
• UDP
• DHCP
• ARP
• PING
For communication with the primary host system, the corresponding TCP/IP protocol (client/
server mode) or UDP must be selected.
Further information on commissioning can be found in chapter 9.
9.1.1
Ethernet – star topology
The AMS 308
i
can be operated as a single device (standalone) in an Ethernet star topology
with individual IP address.
The IP address can either be assigned via the display or dynamically via a DHCP server.
