AC500 Ethernet components
CPU with Onboard Ethernet
 Cable
 Transmission via twisted-pair cables with RJ45 connector. Maximum cable
segment length 100 m for 100 MBit/s
 Topology: line-, tree-, star- or ring-shaped using Ethernet switch or hub (ring
topology only possible by use of managed switches providing redundant line
management like rapid spanning tree)
 Diagnostic
 Messages for local diagnostic on the AC500 CPU display (black flashing rectangle
by data exchange)
 AC500, AC500-eCo CPU: Automation Builder online, PLC browser

be selected for your application
 Communication Module CM597 is replacing CM577

For new systems please always order CM597!

AC500 Ethernet protocols
Sockets: basics
 A socket address is the unique combination of an IP address and a port number.

Based on this address, internet sockets deliver incoming data packets to the appropriate
target
The principle could be compared to phone numbers in a company with telephone

switchboard:
06221701 1390 10.10.10.69 80
Phone No. Extension IP address Port
 TCP/IP and UDP (and some other protocols) are transport protocols using sockets for
communication purposes.
 A new socket is necessary for each new connection via TCP/IP or UDP
 Widely used protocols use fixed port numbers committed for them
