Ethernet module
Use devices that satisfy the standards of IEEE802.3 and 10BASE-T.
• Shielded twisted pair cable (STP cable), category 3 (4, 5)
Straight cables can be used.
(Correct operation is not guaranteed if a crossed cable is used to connect to
an external device via the 10BASE-T of the Ethernet module. However, it is
possible to use crossed cables to connect two Ethernet modules for data
communication or to connect an Ethernet module.)
• RJ45 jacks
• 10Mbps hub
POINT
• During the high-speed communication (100 M bps) via 100BASE-TX connection,
a communication error may occur due to the effect of high frequency noise from
devices other than PLC in a given installation environment.
The following describes countermeasures on the FX
3U
-ENET side to prevent the
effect of high frequency noise for construction of a network system.
(1) Wiring connection
• Do not bundle the twisted pair cables with the main circuit and power wires,
and do not install them close to each other.
• They should be installed at least 100 mm (3.94 in) away from each other.
• Make sure to place the twisted pair cables in a duct.
(2) Communication method
• Data communication with an external device is performed using TCP/IP
communication.
• Increase the number of communication retries as necessary.
[When the error cannot be solved]
• Communication is performed at a data transmission rate of 10 M bps by
changing the connection hub for the FX
3U
-ENET to a hub capable of
handling 10 M bps.
