S unit data communications are compliant with the Ethernet standard 10/10
0 Mbit
(half- and full-duplex).
IMx-S has two Ethernet ports which work like an internal network switch.
Ethernet Cable
The Ethernet TP cable on the IMx-S is connected at one of the standard Ethernet RJ45
connections. Both Ethernet ports have auto detection of crossover or straight through
Ethernet cable connection. Basically, IMx
-S has a built-in 2-port Ethernet switches. It is
possible to connect several IMx-S units in a daisy chain with up to 8 units in a single
cable layout.
