EZMarquee can be ordered with Ethernet, DeviceNet, or Profibus communication interface built-in. This allows you to connect multiple EZMarquees over any of these networks and reduce hard wiring costs.

Ethernet All EZMarquee models are available with built-in high speed Ethernet TCP/IP communication interface in addition to RS232 and RS422/485 communication ports. This interface allows EZMarquee to reside on a 10/100 Mbps TCP/IP network (10 Base/100 Base T Ethernet) via an RJ45 port. Use Ethernet models for easy networking of EZMarquees with 100 meters being the maximum distance between two nodes. For distances greater than 100 meters repeaters can be used to extend the distance between any two nodes. For details on how to send messages to EZMarquee over Ethernet, refer EZMarquee’s manual.
DeviceNet EZMarquee models when ordered with built-in DeviceNet Slave communication interface provide DeviceNet connectivity in addition to RS232 and RS422/485 communication ports. DeviceNet communication interface for EZMarquee provides a digital, multi-drop network that can be used for communicating with DeviceNet enabled controllers and I/O devices. On DeviceNet network every device acts as a node and allows multiple communication hierarchies and prioritization of messages. EZMarquee with DeviceNet communication interface can be configured in a master-slave control architecture as a slave node and allows peer-peer communication. DeviceNet control system provides a single point of connection both for configuration and support for I/O as well as explicit messaging.
Profibus All EZMarquee models are available with built-in Profibus Slave communication interface in addition to RS232 and RS422/485 communication ports. This gives EZMarquee the ability to link with a Profibus Master Controller. Profibus is a vendor independent open field bus protocol standard in manufacturing automation and process control. It reduces hard-wiring costs and provides specifications for information exchanged between nodes of a Profibus network. This communication interface provides the ability to transfer data between a Profibus master and EZMarquee.The Profibus communication interface also has an auto-detect feature for the baud rate of the Profibus network.
