If
you are looking to design a reliable, redundant Ethernet-based
I/O system, the EtherTRAK-2 I/O Module is for you. Several
innovations give you more configuration alternatives and
provide a new level of design flexibility. You save time
and it makes your job easier.
Example configurations include:
 "Switch
Elimination" Mode
Ring
Switch Mode
Two
Networks Mode
|
“Switch Elimination” Mode – A
real-time switch in the module passes Ethernet traffic between
the two Ethernet
ports. You save money and space because the I/O modules can be
daisy-chained without needing external switches.
|
Ring
Switch Mode – Connect the last device back to
the first to form a Real-time Ring™ and create redundant Ethernet
reliability
without additional cost. SIXNET Real-time Ring™ Switches
enable you to add any Ethernet devices to the ring.
|
Two
Networks Mode – Each Ethernet port has
unique MAC and IP addresses allowing you to connect the module
to two independent
physical networks.
