connectors on the gateway.
Figure 6: Connecting Sercos to gateway
Important:
Please observe the following notes on Sercos cabling :
Ø
Use only hubs, no switches.
Ø
Use shielded Ethernet cables that meet the requirements of at
least category 5 (Cat5) according to EN 50173 or ISO/IEC
11801.
Ø
Maximum cable length in a segment (allowed space between
individual devices/hub) is 100 meters.
7.6
EMC-conformant wiring of the network
Undesired faults can occur on the bus due to electromagnetic interference.
This can be minimized beforehand by the implementation of suitable EMC
measures. These include:
·
EMC-conformant system configuration,
·
EMC compliant cable routing,
·
Measures that do not allow the occurrence of large differences in
potential and
·
correct installation of the Sercos system (cables, connection of the bus
connectors, etc.)
