The CNOE-211 is a Ethernet option module for Schneider Automation's TSX Compact PLC. It is the first module to take advantage of the new Compact communication channel. The module gives the Compact its long-awaited Ethernet port. It has many of the capabilities of the original Quantum NOE-211 but in the Compact form factor.

The single 10BaseT RJ45 Ethernet port is Modbus/TCP compatible.

• The PLC can issue 0x, 1x, 3x, and 4x MSTR reads over Ethernet.
• The PLC can issue 0x and 4x MSTR writes over Ethernet.
• A PC can program the PLC via Ethernet.
• Any Modbus/TCP compatible device can read/write the PLC via Ethernet.
• PLC peer-to-peer communications over Modbus/TCP Ethernet.
• I/O Ethernet scanning.

The Ethernet port of the CNOE-211 is also SY/MAX 802.3 compatible, which enables:

• The PLC to read or write SY/MAX registers over Ethernet.
  • Including SY/MAX 450 and 650 PLCs directly.
  • Including other SY/MAX and PowerLogic equipment through NR&D network products.
• Any SY/MAX 802.3 compatible device to read/write PLC registers.
• Modbus/TCP <> SY/MAX 802.3 bridging without PLC intervention.

• TSX Compact PLC (-258, -265, -275, -285 only).
• Free slot in the main rack (slots 3, 4, or 5).
• Compact PLC Executive version 2.07 or greater. The Compact executive required for the CNOE-211 is now available at Schneider Automation's website.

IP configuration can occur over Ethernet via BOOTP or DHCP or from the PLC via MSTR or conifg extensions*. Multiple CNOEs can work in a single rack. No web pages are served by this module. Modules come with a user manual and configuration software on CD, 1-year warranty and 1-year free firmware upgrades.
