Prosoft AN-X2-ABRIO-EIPSCN Remote I/O to Ethernet/IP Scanner Module Hardware Features

On remote I/O the AN-X module supports:

• Baud rates 57.6. 115.2. and 230.4 Kbaud

• Rack numbers 0 to 76 octal

• Block transfers at all allowable locations

On Ethernet, the AN-X supports up to 16 Ethernet/IP connections. Each Ethernet adapter

and the associated discrete I/O requires one connection. Each analog module requires one

connection. In some cases, a discrete module will require a separate connection, for

example, if desired functionality is available only if the module has its own connection.

The AN-X2-ABRIO-EIPSCN module has a web interface for configuring the module, for

monitoring logs and for performing administrative functions. You can communicate with

the module using any standard web browser such as Internet Explorer.

The module firmware can be selected and updated using the web interface. 

Refer to page 41 for details.

Hardware Features

The module has:

• two LEDs to indicate the status of the connection to the Ethernet (100 and Link/Act)

• an LED to indicate the module’s internal state and the state of Ethernet

communication (MS or SYS)

• an LED to indicate the state of communications on the Remote I/O network (NS or NET)

• an Ethernet connector

• a power connector

• a 3-pin Phoenix connector to connect to the remote I/O network

A watchdog timer is implemented in the module’s hardware. If the firmware does not

kick the watchdog within the timeout period the watchdog times out and places the

module into a safe fatal failure state.

A jabber inhibit timer is implemented in the module’s hardware. If the network

transmitter is on longer than 150% of the longest network frame time, the transmitter is

forced off and the module is placed into a safe fatal failure state.
