Connection Via Ethernet; Connecting The Can Adapter (Usb) - HBM MP85A Series Operating Manual

► Connect the bus system.
To find out how to connect several devices to a bus, see sections 4.2 (page
20) and 5.7 (page 40). Note that devices should be synchronized to ensure
error-free operation.
7.2.2

Connection via Ethernet

Connect the MP85A process controller to your PC. For a direct connection,
use an Ethernet crossover cable (1‐KAB239‐2) or make sure the Ethernet
interface of your PC has an autocrossing function. The port (RJ45 socket) is
located on the underside of the MP85A process controller.
Use only cables that are Category 5 (Cat 5) or higher for this purpose. This
enables line lengths of up to 100 m to be achieved. When operating several
devices in an Ethernet network, we recommend the use of an industrial Ether­
net switch.
Tip
You can find further information on establishing connections and interface set­
tings in the operating manual "CAN/PROFIBUS/Ethernet MP85A(-S),
MP85ADP(-S) FASTpress and EASYswitch interface descriptions".
7.2.3

Connecting the CAN adapter (USB)

If the PC does not have its own CAN bus socket, you can use the CAN‐to‐USB
adapter (1‐PMESETUP‐USB).
► Insert the USB-to-CAN adapter into a free USB port on your PC.
Your PC will detect the adapter (Plug and Play). A CD is included with the
adapter. This CD contains the installation drivers, which are automatically
installed during the installation of the PME Assistant and when the USB-to-
CAN adapter is plugged in.
