MP Series Controller Communication Ports
The MP Series controller contains a combination of Ethernet, USB, and SmartX Sensor communication ports.
This combination includes the following ports:
Two 10/100 Ethernet ports
One USB host port
One USB device port
One sensor bus port
When both Ethernet ports are enabled, they function as an onboard Ethernet switch. Disabling the second Ethernet port disables the switching function. The switching function enables flexible network topologies. For more information, see SmartX IP Controller Network Topologies . The second port also provides a connection point for a laptop running the eCommission SmartX Controllers mobile application.
The two USB ports are reserved for future use.
The sensor bus port is designed for connection of SmartX Sensors. For more information, see MP Series Controller Sensor Bus .
