The transmission speed between the PC and the first switch must be higher than the
maximum data rate of any existing Internet
routers (DSL modem, etc.). For home
networks
with
few
PCs
100MBit
is
recommended, for larger networks Gigabit-
Ethernet.
Since no TCP/IP is used but a separate
protocol, this cannot be forwarded by routers,
external firewalls, proxies, etc. Therefore only
so-called "unmanaged switches" may be used
between the control PC and the MicroPod.
Switches must support Fast Forward and
Store-and-Forward
(virtually
all
modern
switches meet this criterion)
Hubs are also allowed for test purposes
(listening with diagnostic tools on taps), but
are not recommended.
The data traffic of the machine controller must
not be routed via slow (DSL modem) or
unreliable (wireless) connections (WLAN). All
wireless interfaces are therefore intentionally
hidden.
If the MicroPod is connected directly to the
PC and the PC interface does not support automatic crossover, a crossover cable must be
used (usually marked with a red connector or "X"). The network interface is galvanically
isolated from the PC. Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) is not supported.
Power supply
The MicroPod can be supplied with an operating voltage of 4.5 to 6V DC.
The input is not
protected against accidental reverse polarity.
The connection is easy
to make at the socket for the FI extension. Connect the 5V from the
micropod to terminal 5V from the connector of the FI-extension and the
ground (GND, 0V) to terminal GND of the FI-extension.
Check the cabling again before switching on
.
