NXC-ME260 NetLinx Master-Ethernet Card/Module
Product Information
The NXC-ME260 Master-Ethernet Card is a Master Card for NetLinx systems with a 10/100BaseT
TCP/IP Ethernet connection, and an RJ-11 SPE (Server Port Expander) connector for use with an
AXB-SPE (Server Port Expander). The NXC-ME260 is the only Master Card you need, as it
incorporates the functionality of all previous NetLinx Master Cards (NXC-M, NXC-ME, and
NXC-MPE).
Beyond replacing the previous set of NetLinx Master Cards, the NXC-ME260 represents a high-
performance NetLinx Master Controller. With double the Flash memory (16 MB) and a more
powerful processor (Coldfire 5407), the ME260 is faster than previous NetLinx Masters.
The NXC-MPE260 can be loaded in the Master Card slot of an NXF NetLinx Cardframe, in an
NXI Integrated Controller, or in an NXM-MHS Module, as shown in FIG. 1.
