That is, an address from 128.1.1.0 to 128.1.1.255, except for 128.1.1.0 which is typically reserved for servers, and 128.1.1.100, which is the default address of the 967/8EN itself.
You can use an Ethernet switch or switching hub to build a network of CONNECTIONS Ethernet modules, similar to that shown below. This drawing shows how to network-connect these modules to a 5-port Ethernet switch (Acromag Model Network 900EN-S005). Note that the 900EN-S005 switch includes automatic...

(968EN). For simplicity, the bipolar analog I/O channels of BusWorks order to process i2o modules are all normalized to ±20000 counts, representing ±100%. messages. Likewise, BusWorks unipolar channels are normalized to 0-20000, representing 0-100%. _______________________________________________________________________________________ Acromag, Inc.
