EtherNet/IP
Micro850 controllers support up to 16 simultaneous EtherNet/IP server
connections through an embedded Ethernet communication channel. The
channel can be used to connect a Micro850 controller to various devices through a
local area network using a 10 Mbps/100 Mbps transfer rate.
Common Industrial Protocol (CIP)
CIP Serial
CIP serial uses DF1 Full Duplex protocol, and provides point-to-point connection
between two devices. It combines data transparency (American National
Standards Institute ANSI - X3.28-1976 specification subcategory D1) and 2-way
simultaneous transmission with embedded responses (subcategory F1)
Micro830 and Micro850 controllers support CIP Serial through an RS-232
connection to external devices, such as computers running RSLinx Classic
software, PanelView Component terminals (firmware revisions 1.70 and above),
or other controllers that support CIP Serial over DF1 Full-Duplex, such as
ControlLogix and CompactLogix controllers that have embedded serial ports.
The Serial Port driver can be configured as CIP Serial, Modbus RTU, ASCII or
Shutdown through the device configuration tree.

Embedded communication channels

The Micro830 and Micro850 controllers have the following additional embedded
communication channels:
•
A non-isolated RS-232/485 combo port
•
A non-isolated USB programming port
•
An RJ-45 ethernet port (Micro850 only)
