Connecting the bus system
•
To find out how to connect several devices to a bus, refer to Sections 2.2
(Page 14) and 3.6 (Page 28). Note that devices must be synchronized for
error-free operation.

5.2.2 Establishing the Ethernet connection

For an MP85A process controller to communicate with the PC, the device
must be connected to the PC. Use an Ethernet crossover cable (1-KAB239-2)
for direct connection. The connection (RJ45 socket) is located underneath the
MP85A process controller. When operating several devices in an Ethernet
network, we recommend the use of industrial Ethernet switches.
As a minimum, category 5 cables with a maximum line length of 100 meters
are used for this.
Further information on connection setup and interface settings can be
found in the operating manual "CAN/PROFIBUS/Ethernet MP85ADP
FASTpress interface descriptions".
