3.2 Installation
3.2.3 Connecting and Disconnecting the Ethernet Cable
■ Connecting the Ethernet cable
● For the Ethernet cable, use Category 5e or higher shielded twisted pair cables.
● The communication distance must be within the specified range.
● Always run the Ethernet cable through a duct or secure the cable with clamps. Failure to
do so may affect the contact state of the connectors due to vibration or impact, resulting
in malfunction.
Reference
For the detailed connection specifications of EtherCAT, refer to the EtherCAT Installation Guide
published by the EtherCAT Technology Group (ETG).
1.
Hold the connector of the Ethernet cable and align the lock release lever of the Ethernet ca-
ble with the groove in IN or OUT.
2.
Insert the connector until it snaps in.
■ Disconnecting the Ethernet cable
1.
Press on the lock release lever on the Ethernet cable and pull it out.
Note
● Attempting to pull out the connector without pressing the lock release lever may break the lock
release lever. Do not use an Ethernet cable whose lock release lever is broken. Do not grasp the
cable to pull, as this may cause wire breakage in the cable.
● To ensure communication reliability, always ground the shield of the Ethernet cable on the master
device side. This product does not have a grounding terminal.
