Start Here Start Here The IMC-BHx-AC family of media converters allow for the simultaneous multi- drop transport of EtherNet/IP™ and Remote I/O data over repurposed Belden 9463 “Blue Hose” cabling. Each Master (IMC-BHM-AC) and Slave (IMC-BHS-AC) module supports Remote I/O networks operating at 57.6K or 115.2K baud rates. The modules are automatically configured to the baud rate of the remote I/O data. -
