Sixnet's liability shall not exceed the price of the individual units, which are the basis of the claim. In no event shall Sixnet be liable for any loss of profits, loss of use of facilities or equipment, or other indirect, incidental or consequential damages.
Shown below are some typical system configurations. The ET-GT-ST-3 allows you to build Ethernet I/O stations of as little as 8 I/O channels to as much as 620+ I/O channels. Each ET-GT-ST-3 has two independent Ethernet network ports. This allows you to have redundant Ethernet links to ensure that a simple cable failure will not cause you to lose your I/O.
