Ethernet board technical data
2. Machine to machine (Industrial environment, fast communication)

2.4. Connections and wiring

The Ethernet board supports 10/100Mb speeds in both Full- and Half-duplex modes. However, using
Profinet requires the Full-duplex mode and the 100-megabit speed. The boards must be connected
to the Ethernet network with a Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) CAT-5e cable. Use a so-called crossover
cable if you want to connect the Ethernet option board directly to the master device.
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.
