  • Page 20 Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG Hardware design When connecting the UG-IC and the RJ45-connector it is important to make sure the signal lines RD1-/RD1+ resp. TD1-/TD1+ also RD2-/RD2+ resp. TD2-/TD2+ run as short a possible, parallel and equal in length. Because this is for analog signals, it is also advisable not to place digital lines in close pro- ximity.
  • Page 21 Hardware design Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG The 74HCT595 used in this example has an undefined on-position, but therefor can set the outputs to the tri-state condition via the OutEnable-Pin 13. If it is more important to have a defined on-position in an application, and the OutEnable-pin is not necessary, the 74HCT594 can be used here.
