Features:
- 10BaseT RJ45 port.
- 10Base2 BNC port.
- AUI connector.
10BaseT RJ45 port establishes the principal capability of
IC697CMM742 within its Series 90-70 function.
The relationship between 10Base2 BNC port and AUI connector determines how the module fits the surrounding rack, network, or field circuit.
During service, one active network port at a time must remain consistent with the saved application and the installed hardware.

Series 90-70 Ethernet integration
- Rack role: IC697CMM742 provides the Ethernet interface used by an IC697 CPU.
- Backplane exchange: The interface passes network requests and controller data through the Series 90-70 rack.
- Network services: TCP/IP communication is used for supported programming and controller data exchanges.
- Configuration identity: The hardware type and configured network parameters must correspond to IC697CMM742 rather than another Ethernet option.
Selecting one Ethernet connection
- Twisted pair: The 10BaseT port uses an RJ45 connection.
- Thin coaxial: A BNC connector is provided for 10Base2 cabling.
- External transceiver: The 15-pin AUI port accepts a compatible medium attachment unit.
- Single active path: Only one of the three media interfaces is active at a time.
Addressing and data flow
- IP parameters: The assigned IP address, subnet mask, and gateway must match the plant network design.
- Media selection: The active connector and configured network path are checked together during startup.
- Controller access: Network traffic reaches the IC697 CPU through the module's rack interface.
- Collision domain: Legacy coaxial or AUI installations retain the termination and transceiver rules of the selected Ethernet medium.
Diagnosing a silent Ethernet interface
- Link path: Begin with the selected RJ45, BNC, or AUI connection rather than testing all ports as simultaneously active.
- Address conflict: Duplicate or incorrect IP parameters are eliminated before hardware is changed.
- Rack status: Module indications and the controller fault table distinguish local rack faults from network faults.
- Peer test: Communication is retried from a known compatible station after cabling and configuration are corrected.
