Section 4: Hardware
Ethernet Connection
The primary means of communication with the DSA5000
module is the 1000Base-T Ethernet port with MDIX auto-
crossing. The DSA uses a M12, 8-Pin, X Code connector for
1Gb Ethernet connection. This is a latching or threaded
connector to prevent the connector from becoming
unseated when subjected to vibration. Additional Ethernet
cables for the DSA5000 can be ordered from Scanivalve
in any length up to 100 feet (30 meters). Scanivalve's part
number for these cables is 156145.
M12 cables, connectors, and parts can also be purchased
off-the-shelf from third party vendors. Custom Ethernet
cables can be built using the mating connectors and a
shielded Category 6 rated or better cable. The Ethernet pin-
out diagram is show in figure 4.10.

Scanivalve SSEP I/O Connections
There are two connectors that provide the means for SSEP
(Scanivalve Synchronous Ethernet Protocol) connections to
other 5000 series modules to create an isolated network
topology of Scanivalve 5000 series devices. When used,
multiple modules can be connected to a single controller
unit, in which all commands, settings, and scan data will
be synchronized and output by a single 'controller' device
through the 1Gb Ethernet connection.
The Scanivalve SSEP (Scanivalve Synchronous Ethernet
Protocol) "In" connector is located in the left hand corner
of figure 4.8, nearest to the channel inputs 14 and 16. The
SSEP "Out" connector is located in the right hand corner of
figure 4.8, nearest to the PURGE pneumatic connector.
Both connectors use a M8, 4-pin, A-Code connector. This
is a latching or threaded connector to prevent the connec-
tor from becoming unseated when subjected to vibration.
This connector can only be used to connect to another
Scanivalve 5000 series device. These connections cannot
be used for standard Ethernet input or output. For more
information on the use of these connectors, please see the
SSEP section of this manual.
SSEP Ethernet cables for the DSA5000 can be ordered from
Scanivalve in any length up to 100 feet (30 meters). Scani-
valve's part number for these cables is 156151.
These cables, connectors, and parts can also be purchased
off-the-shelf from third party vendors. Custom Ethernet
cables can be built using the mating connectors and a
shielded Category 5e rated or better. The Ethernet pin-out
diagram is show in figure 4.11 and the wiring it straight
through (pin to pin).
