The AX500 series controller provides 3 network ports, which are described as follows:
Support programming protocols, connect to HMI, and communicate via
Modbus/TCP.
EtherCAT master port B (Ethernet functionality optional)
With the Ethernet port, the controller can be connected point-to-point with devices such as a computer,
HMI, etc. via a single Ethernet cable.
The controller can also be connected to a hub or switch via its Ethernet interface to form a multi-point
communication network with other devices.
Connection of the CPU module to other devices via a switch
