5.7.4 Ethernet Communication
General
Ethernet communication is a standard function in the IRC5P control cabinet and
may be used for communication between the robot control cabinet and an external
PC etc., or for including one or more robots in an Ethernet network.
Several Ethernet connections are available; on the front door of the cabinet and
directly on the main computer unit as shown in Figure 49 .
The connection on the cabinet front is used for services purposes such as connecting
an external PC for down-loading of programs, program backup etc. The connections
inside the control cabinet may be used for including the robot in an Ethernet
network.

Cable Information
The cable used must be twisted-pair Ethernet (TPE), or as defined in
IEEE 802.3 : 10BASE-T. Local conditions such as electric environment determines
how cable layout is to be performed. The Ethernet connection has no termination for
cable screen. 10BASE-T is a point-to-point net, connected via a HUB switch.
Different transmission rates and cable lengths require different ethernet cables:
– 10Mbit/s: Shielded twisted pair (10 Base T STP)
– 100Mbit/s (<10 m): CAT5E, 100 Base T STP
– 100Mbit/s (10-100 m): CAT6, 100 Base T STP
