Connections and wiring
The Ethernet port supports 10/100 Mb speeds in both
full and half-duplex modes. The boards must be connected
to the Ethernet network with a shielded CAT-5e cable.
A crossover cable (at least CAT-5e cable with STP, shielded
twisted pair) may be needed if you want to connect the
EtherNet/IP board directly to the master appliance.
Use only industrial standard components in the network
and avoid complex structures to minimize the length of
response time and the amount of incorrect dispatches.
It is often a good practice to use a subnet that is different
from other devices not related to the drive control.
