ECOM FAQ0020 04-Apr-2003 Q: Monitoring my Ethernet network, I see broadcasts coming from ECOMs on the network. Why?

€¢ Because the ECOM's PLCs have been configured to talk between themselves (i.e. ECOM-to-ECOM) using the RX/WX commands in the PLCs. €¢ NetEdit software on a PC connected to the network sends out broadcasts to find Host Engineering Ethernet devices .

. . ECOMs respond in like manner.

€¢ If an application of any kind on the PC connected to the network is sending broadcasts out, the ECOM will respond in like manner. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
