Network Access Port (NAP)
The NAP (Network Access Port) provides temporary access to the ControlNet network for diagnostic and
configuration. (RJ45)
ControlNet channels A & B
The module is equipped with two BNC contacts for connection to ControlNet. If redundant operation is
desired both connectors are used, otherwise connector A or B is used. (BNC)
