2.17 Copper connectors in acc. with IEC 61158
In IEC 61158, there are three standardised connector faces for EtherNet/IP:
RJ45 crimp
• RJ stands for "Registered Jack" (standardised socket).
• The established connection technology in IT is
described in IEC60603-7
Bayonet V1 with RJ45
• Further developments of the
RJ45 in the protection
degree IP 67 are described in IEC61076-3-106 and
elsewhere.
M12
• M12 has been tried and proven in automation
engineering for more than 30 years.
• Compact connection solution in IP 67
•
M12 is described in IEC 61076-2-101.
Specially equipped with a d-coded connector face, M12 is specied for use in
Industrial Ethernet networks.
M12 X-Type
• 8-core solution for up to 10 Gigabits in proven
M12 housing
• Compact connection solution in IP 67
• IEC 61067-2-109 describes the M12 X-Type.
Apart from the standards and guidelines applicable to networks, other plug-
in systems are also conceivable. These are not however compatible with the
common IE connections.
