10.6 Ethernet interface
Introduction
The control is provided with an Ethernet interface as a standard
feature so that you can integrate it into a network as a client.
The control transfers data via the Ethernet interface using the
following protocols:
CIFS
(common internet file system) or
SMB
(server message
block)
The control supports versions 2, 2.1 and 3 of these protocols.
NFS
(network file system)
The control supports versions 2 and 3 of this protocol.
Protect your data and the control by running the
machines in a secure network.
To avoid security gaps, prefer the current versions of
the
SMB
and
NFS
protocols.
Connection possibilities
You can integrate the Ethernet interface of the control into the
network or connect it directly to a PC through the RJ45 connection
X26. The connection is electrically isolated from the control
electronics.
Use a Twisted Pair cable to connect the control to your network.
The maximum cable length permissible between the
control and a node depends on the quality grade of the
cable, the sheathing, and the type of network.
