1.1 Functions and Characteristics of the EN911 Module
The Ethernet module EN911 is a device to connect the controller main unit of
the Unified Controller nv series to Ethernet.
The Unified Controller nv Series can communicate with other devices on the
Ethernet system via the EN911.
The EN911 can configure transmission paths with twisted pair cables.
■Characteristics of the EN911 module
・Openness
The EN911 module can support transmission speeds of 10M and 100M to
achieve the openness of Ethernet at the network level.
・Supporting multiple Ethernet modules
The EN911 module can perform transmission request processing for
multiple Ethernet modules from the host side.
・Communication service
Message transmission supports TCP, UDP, and IP.
・Maximum number of modules installed
EN911 units can be installed as long as the number of sockets used of the all
Ethernet modules (*1) under one controller does not exceed 48. The
EN911 is a special module (*2), so the total of number of special modules
under one controller is up to 16.
