Ethernet connection

The HMI Unit has one LAN port at the rear. This port is mainly used to connect the
HMI Unit to the Processing Unit (normally LAN 2) via network. This LAN has 10/100
Mbps capacity.

•

To connect this LAN to a network, a straight-through twisted pair (TP) cable with
RJ-45 connectors must be used. A straight-through cable is one where the pins of one
connector are connected to the same pins of the other connector. Below is the pin
wiring for the twisted pair (TP) cable:

Table 15 Pin layout for HMI Unit Ethernet ports

The pins 4, 5, 7 and 8 are not used.

To connect the HMI Unit network, use twisted pair (TP) cable with RJ-45 connectors.
To comply with the IEC 60945 standard, shielded (screened) cable has to be used.
Recommended cable type is CAT-5e. Category 5e cable is an enhanced version of
Category 5 that adheres to more stringent standards. It is capable of transmitting data at
speeds of up to 1000 Mbps (1 Gigabit per second). The maximum length of the cable
that can be used is 100 metres (328 ft).
