Ethernet M12 connector screen connection
1.
By default the body and cable screen of the M12 Ethernet connectors are insulated from the metal
body of the NEMA module and mains ground. This is in accordance to The EtherNet/IP™
specification for use in industrial automation systems using EtherNet/IP™.
2.
If there is a requirement to connect the M12 body and cable screen (A) to Mains earth for EMC or
Ethernet TCP reasons then the default plastic M12 mounting collar (MN2934T) can be replaced by
a stainless steel version (MN2935T). Ensure the M12 O-ring and sealing washer are seated correctly
to maintain IP66 sealing.
