Network Installation
•
Take the greatest care when you install the Ethernet System. Be sure to follow ISO 8802-3 specifica-
tions. Be sure you understand them before attempting to install an Ethernet System.
•
Unless you are already experienced in installation of communications systems, we strongly recom-
mend that you employ a professional to install your system.
•
Do not install Ethernet equipment near sources of noise. If a noisy environment is unavoidable, take
adequate measures against noise interference, such as installation of network components in metal
cases or the use of optical cable in the system.
•
When using a shielded cable with the shields on both ends of the cable connected to connector
hoods, ground loops induced by improper grounding methods may decrease noise immunity and
cause device damage. To prevent ground loops caused by differences in potential between device
grounding points, the reference potential between the devices must be stabilized. Design grounding
appropriately so that noise current does not flow to ground lines between the devices. For grounding
methods, refer to the
NY-series Industrial Box PC Hardware User’s Manual
(Cat. No. W556) or
NY-
series Industrial Panel PC Hardware User’s Manual
(Cat. No. W557).

•
When you install an EtherNet/IP network that combines an information network with the control sys-
tem, and the communications load may be heavy due to tag data links, we recommend that you set
up the network so that the load does not affect communications. For example, install the tag data
links in a segment that is separate from the information network.

Connect the Ethernet Switch side only. A clamp core
must be attached to the EtherNet/IP port side of the
cable.
