The MultiControl is equipped with an integrated 2-port switch. As a result, the MultiControl can
be integrated, for example, in line structures of the bus wiring.
Observe the installation guidelines of the corresponding bus systems:
➢
• PROFINET: PROFIBUS & PROFINET International (PI), www.profibus.com
• EtherCAT: EtherCAT Technology Group, www.ethercat.org
• EtherNET/IP: ODVA, www.odva.org
If a connection remains unused, seal it with an M12 dummy cap to achieve IP54 protection.
➢
On both sides of the MultiControl it is possible to connect the shielding of the bus
cables. This minimizes EMC problems.
