AH500 Module Manual 
9-2 
9.1  Introduction 
AH10/15EN-5A is an AH500 series Ethernet module. The data in an AH500 series CPU module can 
be transmitted to a remote device through Ethernet. Besides, the CPU module can control the 
remote device through ISPSoft, and a program can be downloaded to the CPU module through 
ISPSoft. 
9.1.1  Functions 
  There are two Ethernet ports. They can automatically detect whether the transmission speed is 
10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. 
  Auto-MDI/MDIX 
  It supports the Modbus TCP protocol. (It supports a master mode and a slave mode 
simultaneously.) 
  It supports the IEC60870-5-104 protocol (available for AH15EN-5A) 
  It supports EtherNet/IP protocol (available for AH10EN-5A V2.0) 
  Sending emails 
  It supports SNMPv1 and SNMPv2. 
  It automatically adjusts the real-time clock in an AH500 series CPU module through the Network 
Time Protocol (NTP).
