EtherCAT – General information on wiring
Wiring is performed using the industry-standard Industrial Ethernet fieldbus cables. On the
AMS 338
i
, D
-
coded M12 connectors are used for the EtherCAT connection. A Cat. 5 Ethernet
cable should be used for wiring.
Leuze offers cables with preassembled D
-
coded M12 connectors at one end and open cable
at the other end.
For further information, see chapter 7 "Electrical connection" and see chapter 11.3.5 "Acces
sory ready-made cables for EtherCAT".
The connection between the individual AMS 338
i
devices in a linear topology is performed
with the "KB ET - … - SSA" cable, with preassembled D
-
coded M12 connector at each end;
see Table "Order codes for EtherCAT connection cables" on page 92.
If the desired cable lengths are not available, you can assemble the cables yourself. For this
purpose, Leuze offers a D-coded M12 round connector for BUS IN and BUS Out. 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.
For the connection technology transition from M12 to RJ45, a "KDS ET M12 / RJ 45 W
-
4P"
adapter is available.
Address Link Label:
The "Address Link Label" is an additional stick-on label that is affixed to the device.
Figure 9.2: Example of an "Address Link Label"; the device type varies depending on the
series
• The "Address Link Label" contains the MAC address (Media Access Control address)
of the device and makes it possible to enter the IP address and the device name man
-
ually. The area of the "Address Link Label" on which the MAC address is printed can
be separated from the remainder of the stick-on label if necessary using the perforation.
• The "Address Link Label" can be removed from the device and affixed in the installation
and layout diagrams to designate the device.
• Once it is affixed in the documents, the "Address Link Label" establishes a unique ref
-
erence between the mounting location, the MAC address or the device, and the asso
-
ciated control program. The time-consuming searching, reading, and manually writing
down of the MAC addresses of all devices installed in the system are eliminated.
