Wiring of an Ethernet Cable

The following shows the connection and disconnection methods of an Ethernet cable.
Connection procedure
1.
Check the insertion direction, and insert an Ethernet cable into an Ethernet port on the module until it clicks.
2.
Check that the cable securely is connected by pulling it slightly.
3.
Check the SPEED LED lighting status of the Ethernet port connected with the Ethernet cable. (Page 15 PART
NAMES)
• The time required from when an Ethernet cable is connected to when the SPEED LED turns ON may vary.
Normally, it turns ON in a few seconds. However, it may take longer because the linking-up processing is
repeated due to the device condition on the line.
• When the SPEED LED does not turn ON, check if the connected Ethernet cable has any failure.
• The SPEED LED turns OFF when connecting with an Ethernet device on the network the data transmission
speed of which is 10 Mbps. Check the communication status by performing the PING test etc.
Disconnection procedure
1.
Pull out the Ethernet cable while pinching the clip on the connector.
Considerations for 1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX connection
A communication error may occur due to the high frequency noise generated from a device other than a programmable
controller depending on the installation environment.
The following shows the measures to be taken on the module side to prevent the influence of the high frequency noise.
• Do not bundle a cable with the main circuit or power cable, or do not place it near those lines.
• Place a cable in a duct.
• In the environment where a cable is susceptible to noise, use the STP cable.
• Change a target device connected with a module to one which communicates at 10 Mbps, and decrease the data
transmission speed.
