6. CONNECTION TO YASKAWA PLC
6.3 Ethernet Connection
6.3 Ethernet Connection
6.3.1 System configuration for connecting to MP-920 or MP2200 or MP2300 or
MP2300S or CP-9200SH or CP-312 or CP-317
*1 The destination connected with the twisted pair cable varies with the configuration of the applicable Ethernet network system.
Connect to the Ethernet module, hub, transceiver or other system equipment corresponding to the applicable Ethernet network
system.
Use cables, connectors, and hubs that meet the IEEE802.3 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX standards.
*2 A length between a hub and a node.
The maximum distance differs depending on the Ethernet device to be used.
The following shows the number of the connectable nodes when a repeater hub is used.
• 10BASE-T: Max. 4 nodes for a cascade connection (500m)
• 100BASE-TX: Max. 2 nodes for a cascade connection (205m)
When switching hubs are used, the cascade connection between the switching hubs has no logical limit for the number of
cascades.
For the limit, contact the switching hub manufacturer.
*3 Product manufactured by YASKAWA Electric Corporation. For details of the product, contact YASKAWA Electric Corporation.
