The F8627X is a \u003cstrong\u003ededicated Ethernet communication module\u003c\/strong\u003e. It does not execute safety logic or process field I\/O. It serves as the network gateway between the H41q\/H51q central module (CPU) and external Ethernet-based systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ2: Can I use the F8627X with older F8650 (non-X) CPUs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The F8627X is designed for the \u003cstrong\u003eF8650X \/ F8652X \/ F8651X \/ F8653X\u003c\/strong\u003e CPU series. While physical compatibility may exist, full feature support (especially ELOP II TCP and enhanced bus station numbering) requires the newer X-series CPUs with OS V7.0-8 or later.
