System role

This section explains what the product does and where it acts in the surrounding system.

Function: Routes TCP/IP or UDP communication through an RJ45 Industrial Ethernet interface and the TDC L/C bus.
System position: Inferred system position: Sits between the SIMATIC TDC backplane and an Industrial Ethernet network.
Upstream / inputs: Receives TDC L/C bus data and Ethernet frames from the upstream system.
Downstream / outputs: Provides TCP/IP or UDP traffic through RJ45 to the downstream system.
Limitations: Unknown: current unit condition, installation-specific compatibility, firmware or software version, and commercial availability.
