If you’re using Wired+Wireless controllers and brains, you should already be familiar with wireless networking; and if you are using serial I/O, you should know about serial networking. If you are not familiar with these subjects, we strongly suggest you consult some of the many commercially available resources to learn about them.

If your SNAP PAC System will be part of an existing Ethernet network or will communicate with an existing network, be sure to work closely with your system administrator before setting up the network or assigning IP addresses.

This PDF-chapter discusses some optional Ethernet and serial networking arrangements for the SNAP PAC System.

The chapter includes the following:

• Network interfaces on SNAP PAC controllers and brains
  
• Using redundant Ethernet network links
  
• Segmenting Ethernet networks
  
• Using wireless networking
  
• Daisy-chaining distributed Ethernet I/O
  
• Communicating with Modbus/TCP® systems
  
• Communicating with Allen-Bradley® Logix® systems
  
• Using distributed serial I/O
  
• Connecting directly to serial devices
  
• Communicating with Profibus systems
  
• Communicating with a remote host using a modem
  
• Communicating with legacy serial mistic I/O
