Ethernet wiring
A Cat. 5 Ethernet cable should be used for wiring.
For the connection on the BCL 558
i
, a "KDS ET M12 / RJ 45 W - 4P" adapter is available
into which the standard network cable can be plugged.
If no standard network cables are to be used (e.g. due to lacking IP… protection class), you
can use the "KB ET - … - SA" user-configurable cable on the BCL 558
i
connection cables for the BCL 558i" on page 180.
The individual BCL 558
i
devices in a linear topology are connected with the
"KB ET - … - SSA" cable, see table 13.9 "Bus connection cables for the BCL 558i" on
page 180.
For unavailable line lengths, you can configure your cables yourself. When doing so, make
certain that you connect
TD+
on the M12 connector with
RD+
on the RJ-45 connector and
TD-
on the M12 connector with
RD-
on the RJ-45 connector, respectively, etc.
Notice!
Use the recommended connectors / sockets or the ready-made cables (see chapter 13
"Type overview and accessories").
