Coupler Enables EtherNet/IP Communication

March 6, 2011
The APAX-5072 high-density EtherNet/IP communication coupler features ODVA (Open DeviceNet Vendors Association) authorization, allowing it to link with any EtherNet/IP master to build an EtherNet/IP remote I/O solution.

The coupler features two RJ-45 ports with the same IP address for building daisy chains. It allows users to configure different channels with different types and ranges in one module. Leveraging the APAX features of high density I/O, flexibility, scalability and hot swap functionality, the coupler is able to connect APAX digital I/O modules or analog I/O modules to build remote I/O systems for fulfilling PLC or control application needs.
