Figure 9: Ethernet / RJ45 sockets
NOTE
The Ethernet / RJ45 sockets are usually earth-grounded. For additional information, see also "Appendix 1:
The two Ethernet interfaces can be used in either of two different ways (the corresponding configuration is done
in WEBs N4):
•
"Separated networks" (factory default).
•
"Switch functionality."
See also the following two sections.
Separated Networks
The "separated networks" scenario is the factory default. In this scenario, each of the two Ethernet interfaces must
be activated and located in a different subnet.
Switch Networks
In this scenario, one of the two Ethernet interfaces is deactivated (using WEBs N4
–
see section "Disabling an
Ethernet Interface" below). The deactivated Ethernet interface will now function in the loop-through (daisy-chain)
mode and can therefore be used to continue the data line.
The following limitations apply:
1.
Only daisy-chain configurations are allowed
2.
A maximum of five Ethernet-capable devices (including CIPer Model 50 controller) are allowed
(failure to observe this limitation will result in signal delays and will grade data transmission).
3.
The maximum distance between any two of the Ethernet-capable devices in the daisy chain is 328 ft
(100 meters).
4.
Connect the devices using CAT5 cable or better.
