Ethernet cable wiring precautions
This section explains Ethernet cable connection and the relevant precautions.
Handling of the Ethernet cable
• Do not touch the conductors of the cable or the connector on the inverter. Keep the conductors free of dust or dirt. Handling
the conductors with oily hands or dust/dirt adhesion to the conductors may cause transmission losses and impair normal
data link operation.
• Check the Ethernet cable for the following points before use.
• The cable is not broken.
• The cable does not have a short circuit.
• The connector is properly installed.
• Do not use an Ethernet cable with a broken latch. Doing so may cause the cable to come off or malfunction.
• Do not connect the Ethernet cable to the PU connector. The product could be damaged due to differences in electrical
specifications.
• The maximum distance between stations is specified as 100 m. However, the maximum distance may be shorter
depending on the environment. For details of the cable, contact your cable manufacturer.
Connecting and disconnecting of the Ethernet cable
Hold the cable connector when connecting and disconnecting the Ethernet cable. Pulling a cable connected to the inverter
may damage the inverter or cable, or result in malfunction due to poor contact.
Network configuration
Check the network configuration before wiring, and perform correct wiring.
