Modbus TCP On-Board Communications

Commissioning

Connections and Wiring
The Ethernet port supports 10/100 Mb speeds in both full
and half-duplex modes. The boards must be connected to
the Ethernet network with a shielded CAT-5e cable. A
crossover cable (at least CAT-5e cable with STP, shielded
twisted pair) may be needed if you want to connect the
EtherNet/IP board directly to the master appliance.
Use only industrial standard components in the network and
avoid complex structures to minimize the length of response
time and the amount of incorrect dispatches. It is often a
good practice to use a subnet that is different from other
devices not related to the drive control.
