is not recognized
Check interconnection cable
Install USB driver
Sporadic errors at
the Ethernet/IP
interface
• Incorrect wiring
• Effects due to EMC
• Overall network expansion exceeded
Check wiring
•In particular, check wire shielding
•Check the cable used
Check shielding (shield covering in
place up to the clamping point)
Check grounding concept and connec

tion to functional earth (FE)
Avoid EMC coupling caused by power
cables laid parallel to device lines.
Check max. network expansion as a
function of the max. cable lengths
