20.12 Ethernet interface
Introduction
The control is shipped with a standard Ethernet card to connect the
control as a client in your network. The control transmits data via
the Ethernet card with
the
smb
protocol (Server Message Block) for Windows
operating systems, or
The
TCP/IP
protocol family ( T ransmission C ontrol
P rotocol/ I nternet P rotocol) and with support from the NFS
( N etwork F ile S ystem)
Protect your data and your control by running your
machines in a secure network.
Connection possibility
You can connect the Ethernet card in your control to your network
through the RJ45 connection (X26,1000BaseTX, 100BaseTX and
10BaseT), or directly to a PC. The connection is metallically isolated
from the control electronics.
For a 1000Base TX, 100BaseTX, and 10BaseT connection, use a
twisted-pair cable to connect the control to your network.
The maximum possible cable length depends on the
quality grade of the cable, the sheathing, and the type of
network (1000BaseTX, 100BaseTX, or 10BaseT)
Configuring the control
Have a network specialist configure the control.
