Functions of the NET stations
The different types of NET stations vary according to their technical
overview:
• easy800 control relay,
• MFD-...-NT operating and visualization devices
• Safety control relay (ES4-…)
• SmartWire gateways (without program, with configuration)
• Control systems EC4-200 and
• XC200 controllers
6.2 Net stations with or without program
NET stations can be run with or without a program. Whether a program is
present is indicated by the REMOTE-IO NET parameter. With EASY806-

The following applies to a fast message transfer:
• Set the fastest possible baud rate to suit the network length
and cable cross-section.
• Fewer messages means faster messages.
• Avoid program transferring (download/upload) a circuit
diagram while the NET stations are in RUN mode.
