surfaceCONTROL 3D SC2500 / SC2510
5.4.4
Gigabit Ethernet Connection
The Ethernet connection is the standard connection to the PC. The sensor supports transmission at 1 Gbit/s. Four 8-pin
RJ45 sockets are installed in the housing.
We recommend you use the optional Cat6A category patch cables with cable lengths of 2 m, 5 m or 10 m for the Ether-
net connection.
Due to the high data rate, we recommend a high-quality Ethernet PC plug-in card, for example, Intel-Pro/1000 PT. Pref-
erably the sensors should be connected directly to the network connection or using a high-quality switch. A hub would
cause massive data collisions and may not be used. On the PC, one or more network cards should always be intended
solely for the sensors.
Operating the sensors via Ethernet requires no additional driver installation. However, the network settings must be spec-
ified correctly:
-
The sensor supports DHCP. This setting is enabled by default and has priority over searching in the link local network.
-
A fixed IP address can be assigned.
-
Various network settings (e.g. firewall or packet filters) can interfere with communications with the sensor.
-
The sensor supports jumbo frames up to 9014 bytes/packet; however, in that case all network components must also
support jumbo frames up to that size.

Installation Instructions
For all connection cables, use only the appropriate cables from the optional accessories.
Tighten the cable connectors. The recommended tightening/screwing torque is at most 1.0 Nm.
Do not apply force when tightening.
> Damage to or destruction of the sensor
Lay all connection cables in accordance with the generally applicable measuring technology regulations, i.e. for example
not directly next to pulse-carrying lines, preferably in a separate cable duct.
The minimum bending radii are three times the cable diameter and must not be less than this.
