(1) Fiber requires use of other products (for example, an Ethernet switch or the BMXNRP020p module) to convert from the twisted pair connectors (RJ45) that these
products have.
(2) CANopen can be used, but it is necessary to use Modicon STB I/Os. Please consult the “IP 20 distributed inputs/outputs - Modicon STB” catalog available on our
website www.schneider-electric.com.
