DMP41
3.1
Ethernet interface
The DMP41 can be included in an Ethernet network, and thus directly to the
TCP/IP world, via the Ethernet connection RJ45 socket. This means that
visualization and control are not only possible on site, but also, with relevant
safety devices, anywhere in the world.
The Internet Protocol (IP) applies correct addressing and routing of the data
packets, while the Transport Control Protocol (TCP) set up on it is
responsible for data transport and security.
The Ethernet network supports speeds of 10 Mbit/s and 100 Mbit/s, as well
as half and full duplex mode. The transmission mode and speed are
automatically adapted to the existing network.
Cable
Category 5 (Cat-5) or higher cables must be used for this purpose. This
enables line lengths of 100 m to be implemented. When operating several
devices in an Ethernet network, we recommend the use of industrial
Ethernet switches.
Parameterisation
Each DMP41 has an individual MAC address. A logical IP address is
assigned to this.
