3.18.2 Ethernet communication, DSQC 336
The ethernet communication board has two options for ethernet connection.
Connector X4 is used for connection of twisted-pair Ethernet (TPE), or as defined in
IEEE 802.3 : 10BASE-T. Maximum node-to-node distance 100 meter. The ethernet
communication board has no termination for cable screen. Cable screen must be
grounded at cabinet wall with a cable gland. 10BASE-T is a point-to-point net,
connected via a HUB.
Connector X11 is used for connection of transceivers with AUI (Attachment Unit
Interface). Typical use of this connector is connection of transceivers for 10BASE2
(CheaperNet, Thinnet, Thinwire Enet, - 0.2 inch, 50 ohm coax with BNC connector) or
optical fibre net. Note the environmental conditions for the transceiver inside the
controller, i.e. +70
o
C.
