*1. A ring topology is available for CPU Units with PMAC firmware revision version 2.7.0 or later.
*2. Be sure to use a shielded cable for EtherNet/IP communications. When you are using communication at 1 Gbps, be
      sure to use a cable of category 5e or higher.
*3. EtherNet/IP is available only for targets and not available for originators. EtherNet/IP is available only for CPU Units
      with PMAC firmware revision version 2.6.0 or later whose date of production is September 8th, 2020 or later (Lot
      number 08920 and later). Use Power PMAC IDE Ver.4.4.1 or a later version.
*4. Represents Packet Per Second and indicates the number of sent or received packets that can be processed in a second.
