13.5.6 Using the Ethernet Station Manager Function

CPUE05 provides local Station Manager operation via Port 1. This port can be configured
for either CPU serial communications (SNP, RTU, Serial I/O) or local Station Manager
use. While Port 1 is configured as a local Station Manager, it cannot be used for CPU
serial communications or firmware loading. However, if the port is configured as a CPU
port instead (the default setting), it can temporarily be forced to local Station Manager
operation using the Restart pushbutton (or using the chport1 Station Manager command).
The CPUE05 also supports remote Station Manager operation over the Ethernet network
via UDP protocol. With UDP protocol, the remote station is addressed via an IP address.
Unlike some Series 90 Ethernet products, CPUE05 cannot send or receive remote Station
Manager messages that have been sent to a specified MAC address.
For a detailed description of Station Manager functions, refer to the VersaMax PLC
Ethernet Station Manager User Manual (GFK-1876).
