2. Feature Summary 
The ETH-100 interface provides a wide array of network data access and drive 
control features.  Combined with the flexible configuration and standard 10BaseT 
Ethernet/Internet connectivity, this allows powerful networked control and monitoring 
systems to be designed.  This in turn provides easy and direct data transfer 
capabilities to PLCs, PC-based control systems and a wide array of 
manufacturing/ERP and plant control software packages. 
 
 
Network 
IEEE 802.3 10BaseT Ethernet compliant.  Shielded RJ45 connector accepts 
standard CAT5-type 8-conductor unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) patch cables. 
 
 
Drive Connections 
The ETH-100 provides support for simultaneous connection of three Toshiba 7-series 
or 9-series drives via the drives’ common serial (aka logic level) communication 
ports.  All drives share a common IP address.  Drive connections use the same 
standard RJ45 style 8-conductor UTP patch cables: any standard CAT5 Ethernet 
cable (found in most electronics stores) 5 meters or less in length can be used to 
connect the ETH-100 to the drives. 
 
 
Power Supply 
Self-contained.  Powered directly from the connected drives.  Drives can be 
connected to the ETH-100 on any channel (A, B or C) in any order or combination.  
When more than 1 drive is connected to the unit, the ETH-100 will draw its control 
power from the drive with the highest power supply voltage. 
 
 
Supported Protocols 
Current support for Schneider Electric Modbus TCP/IP, release 1.0.  Conformance 
Class 0 and partial Class 1 compliant.  Allows up to 8 simultaneous Modbus TCP/IP 
client connections. 
 
 
Text-Based Console Configuration 
The unit can be configured via a simple text-based console interface, available locally 
over RS232 by using the enclosed MMI cable or remotely over Ethernet via a telnet 
session. 
 
 
Embedded Web Server 
Unit configuration and drive monitoring and control are also provided via an 
embedded web server using the HTTP protocol.  The ETH-100’s web server feature 
provides direct access and control via standard web browsers such as Microsoft 
Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator.
