2.1.2 Ethernet/IP

Description
Ethernet/IP is an Ethernet digital communications system used in Miller Electric's
Auto-Axcess E welding systems. It is used to connect the robot and the weld power
source.There are two 10/100 Ethernet NIC's (Network Interface Connections) on
the rear panel of the Axcess E. These NIC's require an industrial Ethernet cable
and do not provide a connection for standard RJ-45 Ethernet cables.
Miller Electric Mfg. Co. offers Industrial Ethernet cables available for use with the
Axcess E. These are available in 3, 5 and 10 meter lengths (part numbers 300734,
300735 and 300736). They have a shielded RJ-45 connection to connect to a PC
or network drop. Shielded CAT-5 cable is strongly recommended in the welding
environment, and proper termination of the shield is important for noise-free
operation.
The following figure shows the rear panel Ethernet connector on a Miller Axcess
E welding system.
