Independence of the ports
The two ports are independent from each other. In contrast to the CX systems CX1020 and
CX9000 systems, no switch is integrated. For a line topology an additional switch is re
quired. The independent ports can be configured in different ways: In delivery state the up
per port (1) is configured as GB IT port, the lower port (2) is configured for EtherCAT com
munication. It can also be used for IT communication.
