Ethernet network. Up to five fieldbus-specific expansion modules can be connected, and the field device data can be accessed using FDT/DTM, HART IP, and Modbus TCP. The GW PL ETH/UNI-BUS head station also adds PROFINET communication. The head station features an embedded web server for configuring the device, as well as a CommDTM for use with an FDT Frame application, such as PACTware.
Connect a CAT5 or better Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port on the GW PL ETH/…BUS and an Ethernet network (switch). Both crossover (C/O) or 1:1 cables are acceptable, as the GW PL ETH/…BUS has autocross capability. The cable should not exceed 100 m in length. 6/46 PHOENIX CONTACT 3433_en_C...

Powering multiple devices with factory default IP addresses will cause a network conflict, and incorrect parameters may be set in the GW PL ETH/UNI-BUS modules. When programming modules for the first time, it is important to apply power to only one at a time, and change the IP address of each module to a unique IP address.
