Depending on the connection environment, communication errors may occur due to high-frequency noise
from devices other than programmable controllers. The following describes precautionary measures to be
taken on the RJ71EIP91 to avoid the influence of high-frequency noise.
• When wiring cables, do not bundle them together with or keep them in close proximity to the main circuit
lines or power cables.
• Place cables in a duct.
• Use STP cables in place of UTP cables.
Hub
When using hubs for EtherNet/IP, use hubs that support the transmission speed of communications.
