Ethernet Wiring

Industrial standard cables can be subjected to extreme mechanical stresses. The

 

minimum for SafeEthernet protocol communication requires Category 5 twisted pair

 

cable with a class D rating, for greater distances and less possibility for errors

 

occurring, fiber optic cable should be used.

 

The controllers communicate at 100 Mbit/s (Fast Ethernet) and 10 Mbit/s during full

 

duplex mode. The XPSMF2DO801 safety remote output device has an auto "cross-

 

over" function built into the switch, which allows the use of both a 1:1 cable and a

 

cross-over cable.

 

The outer shielding of the twisted pair cable must be earthed at both ends. If an

 

RJ 45 connector is used, it automatically connects the cable's shield to the

 

controller’s housing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Interface

When connecting a module or a PLC over Ethernet communication, the following

Elements

interface elements are recommended: FL CAT5 TERMINAL BOX of Phoenix

 

Contact (R). The controllers are mounted on an earthed EN mounting rail. The

 

conductors of the field cable are attached to the interface terminals. It is important

 

to make sure that the cable shield is also connected via the strain relief.

 

Prefabricated patch cables are used to connect the interface element and the

 

XPSMF2DO801 safety remote output device. If the rail is earthed in accordance with

 

the standards, it is enough to mount an interface element on a rail.
