ACM 9 Industrial Ethernet (EtherCAT®, EtherNet/IP™, Profinet®), AEG ID Communication Module, provides Industrial Ethernet connectivity for ARE i9, AEG ID RFID reader family. Both units are dedicated to each other, none of the two is meant to be used without the other. Four ARE i9 units can be hooked up to one ACM 9.
ACM 9 Industrial Ethernet communication module supports Industrial Ethernet connectivity. EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP and Profinet are implemented (only one at a time). ACM 9 has 2 Industrial Ethernet ports, 4 serial ports dedicated to ARE i9 reader family, 4 digital inputs and 4 digital outputs, both linked to their respective reader port. The auxiliary port provides power as well as a serial system interface.

2.2.3 Input data telegram to Industrial Ethernet master Above output telegram has been sent to ACM 9. ACM 9 sends the command to the appropriate ARE i9, in this case to the ARE i9 hooked up to serial interface port 2. ARE i9 reads the transponder code (UID of transponder) and sends it to ACM 9.
2.2.4 ACM 9 – control via RS-232 serial interface In addition to the Industrial Ethernet control option, ACM 9 can always be controlled directly via a RS-232 interface. The interface is located at the AUX port (see chapter 2.1.3 connectivity for pinout).

3.2.3 Connectivity ARE i9x is connected via its M12, 5-Pin male A-coded plug. Power supply as well as communication is provided by ACM 9, communication module. Do not use any other means of powering or communicating to ARE i9x other than an ACM 9 module, otherwise ARE i9x will be damaged.
Version: 10 Manual ACM 9 - ARE i9 release Page: 22 / 51 If it is not possible to ensure such orientation, the Disk transponders can be oriented perpendicular to the front side of ARE i9 and glass tube transponders can be oriented parallel. This will result in some decrease of read range, but in most cases this is acceptable.
