Cable specifications
Use the shielded twisted pair (STP) of Cat 5e or above for EtherCAT communication. The requirements
are as follows.
1. Cable requirements
2. Length requirements
According to FastEthernet technology, when an EtherCAT bus is used, the length of the cable
between the devices must not exceed 100 meters. Otherwise, the signal will be attenuated and the
communication will be affected.
3. Technical requirements
100% continuity test, no short circuit, open circuit, misalignment and poor contact
Use a shielded cable as the EtherCAT bus for network data transmission, with the following
recommended specifications:
