CTI 2572-A Fast Ethernet TCP/IP Adapter

The 2572-A Ethernet TCP/IP Adapter is the next generation

2572 network interface module for 2500 Series® or Simatic®

505 controllers. The 2572-A provides connectivity to Ethernet

networks using IEEE 802.3. Ethernet II and Transmission

Control/Internet Protocol standards, at 10M or 100M speeds.

IMPORTANT NOTE: 2572-A HAS BEEN MATURED.

IT IS REPLACED BY 2572-B or 2500P-ECC1.

WHICH SHOULD BE USED ON ALL NEW DESIGNS.
