MicroLogix 1100
Controllers and Ethernet
Communication Ethernet is a local area network that provides communication between various
devices at 10 to 100 Mbps. The physical communication media options for the
MicroLogix 1100 are:
• built-in
– twisted-pair (10/100Base-T)
• with media converters or hubs
– fiber optic
– broadband
– thick-wire coaxial cable (10Base-5)
– thin-wire coaxial cable (10Base-2)
See the following page for more information on Ethernet physical media.
