92. Feature SummaryThe ETH-100 interface provides a wide array of network data access and drivecontrol features. Combined with the flexible configuration and standard 10BaseTEthernet/Internet connectivity, this allows powerful networked control and monitoringsystems to be designed. This in turn provides easy and direct data transfercapabilities to PLCs, PC-based control systems and a wide array ofmanufacturing/ERP and plant control software packages.NetworkIEEE 802.3 10BaseT Ethernet compliant. Shielded RJ45 connector acceptsstandard CAT5-type 8-conductor unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) patch cables.Drive ConnectionsThe ETH-100 provides support for simultaneous connection of three Toshiba 7-seriesor 9-series drives via the drivesí common serial (aka logic level) communicationports. All drives share a common IP address. Drive connections use the samestandard RJ45 style 8-conductor UTP patch cables: any standard CAT5 Ethernetcable (found in most electronics stores) 5 meters or less in length can be used toconnect the ETH-100 to the drives.Power SupplySelf-contained. Powered directly from the connected drives. Drives can beconnected to the ETH-100 on any channel (A, B or C) in any order or combination.When more than 1 drive is connected to the unit, the ETH-100 will draw its controlpower from the drive with the highest power supply voltage.Supported ProtocolsCurrent support for Schneider Electric Modbus TCP/IP, release 1.0. ConformanceClass 0 and partial Class 1 compliant. Allows up to 8 simultaneous Modbus TCP/IPclient connections.Text-Based Console ConfigurationThe unit can be configured via a simple text-based console interface, available locallyover RS232 by using the enclosed MMI cable or remotely over Ethernet via a telnetsession.Embedded Web ServerUnit configuration and drive monitoring and control are also provided via anembedded web server using the HTTP protocol. The ETH-100ís web server featureprovides direct access and control via standard web browsers such as MicrosoftInternet Explorer and Netscape Navigator.
