Communication Cable Wiring
The dual RJ45 network ports on the option board act as a switch to allow for flexibility in cabling
topology. For example, a traditional star network topology may be employed by using a single port
on the option board. Alternatively, a daisy-chained approach may be employed by using both RJ45
ports. This second approach reduces the requirements of central switch ports.

Communication Cable Specifications
Only use cables recommended for PROFINET. Using a cable not specifically recommended may
cause the option or drive to malfunction.
The use of CAT5e or equivalent Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable is recommended.
