A-B 1783-MMX8TA Stratix 5800 Ethernet Managed Expansion Modules

Physical Connection Options

Ethernet (10/100Base-T) channel offers:

• 10/100 Mbps communication rate.

• ISO/IEC 8802-3STD 802.3 (RJ45) connector for 10/100Base-T media.

• TCP/IP communication protocol.

• built-in isolation.

Processor Communication Options

The SLC 500 processors support several communication options. 

The following sections describe the available physical connections and protocol options used by the SLC 500 processors.

Universal Remote I/O (RIO) Network 

The strength and versatility of the Universal Remote I/O network comes from the breadth of products it supports. 

In addition to 1746 I/O, the Universal Remote I/O network supports many Allen-Bradley and third-party devices. 

Typical applications range from simple I/O links with controllers and I/O, to links with a wide variety of other types of devices. 

You connect devices through remote I/O adapter modules or built-in remote I/O adapters. 

Using the Universal RIO Network instead of direct-wiring a device over a long distance to a local I/O chassis reduces installation, 

tart-up, and maintenance costs by placing the I/O closer to the sensors and actuators. 

SLC 5/03, 5/04, and 5/05 processors support pass-thru which lets you configure RIO devices remotely from an Ethernet, 

DH+, or DH-485/DF1 network, as well as block transfer instructions for faster reading and writing of I/O data.
