Connections and Wiring

The FIG. 11 illustrates the relative location of the ICSNet and ICSHub Out connectors on the rear panel.

FIG. 11 Location of ICSNet and ICSHub Out connectors

Unlike the ICSNet ports, the ICSHub connections require a specific polarity. The IN/OUT configuration, on the hub ports, was implemented to use the same cables as ICSNet, but these ports need TX and RX crossed. You must connect an OUT to an IN, or an IN to an OUT port.

This is done simply to keep the polarity straight. The Hub bus is still a bus. All Hub connections are bi-directional.

ICSHub OUT port

The following table describes the pinout/signal information for the ICSHub OUT port located on the rear panel of the Integrated Controller (as shown in FIG. 11).

ICSHub OUT Pinouts and Signals

Pin	Signal	Color
1	RX +	orange-white
2	RX -	orange
3	------	------
4	------	------
5	------	------
6	------	------
7	TX +	brown-white
8	TX -	brown

Ethernet 10/100 Base-T RJ-45 Connections/Wiring

The following table lists the pinouts and signals associated to the Ethernet connector. FIG. 12 describes the RJ-45 pinouts, signals, and pairing for the Ethernet 10/100 Base-T RJ-45 connector and cable.
