SBC S-Net, the network concept by Saia Burgess
Controls,isbasedontheopenstandardProbusand
Ethernet. Ethernet includes layers 1 and 2 of the ISO/
OSIlayermodel.Basedonlayer2,avarietyofdierent
protocols and applications can be operated in parallel in
the same network.
Additionally,theProbuslayer2(Field Data Link, FDL) also allows parallel
operation of various application protocols such as DP, FMS and others. By

Since the summer of 2010, the full-duplex mode and Auto-MDIX can be operated
via the Ethernet connection of the PCD3 family (PCD3.M2xxx, PCD3.M3xxx,
PCD3.M5xxx and PCD3.M6xxx).
The easiest way to determine if your PCD3 already supports these functions, is to
verify that the RJ-45 connectors are equipped with LEDs. If this is tha case, the
Saia PCD
®
supports the full-duplex mode and auto-MDIX (auto-crossing of the
signals).
The following hardware version or higher is required for full Duplex and Auto MDIX
support:
● PCD3.M3xxx, PCD3.M5xxx and PCD3.M6xxx from hardware F
● PCD3.M2x30A4T1 and PCD3.M2x30A4T3 from hardware B
● PCD3.M2x30A4T5 from hardware C
Devices with Ethernet full-duplex mode can be recognized by the two LEDs on the
RJ-45 connector (left image).
