Introduction

Premium PLCs can be integrated into an Ethernet communication architecture through:

TSX ETY 4103/5103 modules
TSX ETY PORT (TSX P57 1634/2634/3634) modules
a TSX WMY 100 module
the Ethernet channel integrated into the TSX P57 5634/4634 processor

The principal characteristics of the Ethernet connections are the following:

connection to a TCP/IP network
communication in half duplex and full duplex mode by automatic recognition
transmission speed from 10 or 100 Mbits/s by automatic recognition
connection to network by copper cable via an RJ45 connector

These modules are used to carry out the following functions:

I/O Scanner service (except TSX WMY 100)
Global Data (except TSX WMY 100)
Web server
Address Server (except TSX WMY 100)
X-Way UNI-TE and Modbus messaging service on TCP/IP
SNMP service
electronic mail notification service (SMTP)
time synchronization service (NTP)

NOTE: The TSX WMY 100 module behaves like the TSX ETY 4103 module, except for the I/O Scanning, Global Data, Address Server, and electronic mail notification services, which the TSX WMY 100 does not manage. For all other information concerning the TSX WMY 100 module, consult the relevant sections and chapters of TSX ETY 4103.
