Communication Cartridge
The communication cartridges can only be used when connected to cartridge slots 1 and 2 of the CPU module.
This port can be used to communicate with RS232C/RS485 communication-compatible external devices such as computers,
operator interfaces, and printers. Maintenance communication, user communication, Modbus RTU communication (master/slave),
and data link communication (master station/slave station) are possible.
CAN Port
The CAN J1939 All-in-One Type can use this port to perform J1939 communication.
HMI-Ethernet Port
The HMI-Ethernet port can only be used when a CPU module and an HMI module are connected.
This port can be used to communicate with Ethernet communication-compatible external devices such as computers and operator
interfaces.
This port has eight connections that can be used with Ethernet communication. Each connection can be configured for
maintenance communication (server).
This port also supports the web server function and the send E-mail function.
