PROFINET – General information on wiring
A Cat. 5 Ethernet cable should be used for wiring.
For the connection technology transition from M12 to RJ45, a "KDS ET M12 / RJ 45 W
-
4P"
adapter is available that lets you connect standard network cables.
If no standard network cables are to be used (e.g. due to lacking IP… degree of protection),
you can use the "KS ET
