Ethernet Subordinate
When the control system is in Ethernet subordinate mode, it operates as an Ethernet device and
makes its ports (except for the LAN port) available to a primary control system. Any program
loaded into the control system does not run when it is in Ethernet subordinate mode.
NOTE:3-Series and 4-Series control cards are not supported when the control system is in
Ethernet subordinate mode.
