7.9.2 Insert and lay the cables
Insert the interface cables
1 Unfasten and remove the cover on the cable fitting [W_29/W_20].
2 Remove the sealing insert.
3 Pass the connection cable through the cover of the cable fitting and the sealing
insert.
4 Insert the sealing insert into the cable fitting.
5 Feed the connection cables into the connection area.
» Proceed with the connection.
7.9.3 Ethernet connection
NOTE
The connection plug of an RJ45 cable is larger than the opening of an M25 cable fitting when it is installed.
For this reason, remove the sealing insert before installation and thread the Ethernet cable outside of the
cable fitting through the sealing insert.
NOTE
Use a suitable category 7 network cable. The maximum distance between two devices is 100 m (328 ft).
The Ethernet switch allows for the repeater function and supports auto-sensing. Ensure that the cable is
correctly assigned. You can use both crossed and 1:1 protectively-wired Ethernet connection cables.
Connecting the device to the network
↻ Connect the Ethernet cable to the device.
1 Connect the Ethernet cable to the network or a computer.
2 Configure the Ethernet settings and the web server in the Settings menu.
Connecting the Ethernet cable
↻ Connecting cable inside the device.
1 Plug in an Ethernet cable at one of the two Ethernet ports on the communication circuit board.
2 Check that the connecting cable is fitted securely.
» Connect additional signal cables.
7.9.4 Connecting the RS485 bus
NOTE
Ensure that the DATA+ and DATA- wires are properly connected. Communication is not possible if the wires
are reversed! Different manufacturers do not always interpret the standard on which the RS485 protocol is
based in the same way. Note that the wire designations (DATA- and DATA+) for wires A and B may vary
from one manufacturer to another.
