Ethernet RJ45
The industrial PC has three Gigabit LAN ports according to IP65/67 (X103-X105). The 100Base-T and 1000Base-T Ethernet standards enable the connection of corresponding network components and data rates of 100/1000 Mbit/s. The required speed is selected automatically.
The RJ45 connection technology with twisted-pair cables is used. The maximum length of the cable connection is 100 m.
The industrial PC may only be connected to internal Ethernet networks and not to external telecommunication networks.
The Ethernet ports are suitable for cycle times <= 1 ms and for distributed clock applications in EtherCAT.
The Intel® i210 is used as controller.
Pin | Signal | Description |

1 | T2 + | Pair 2 |
2 | T2 - | |
3 | T3 + | Pair 3 |
4 | T1 + | Pair 1 |
5 | T1 - | |
6 | T3 - | Pair 3 |
7 | T4 - | Pair 4 |
8 | T4 - |
The LEDs of the LAN interfaces indicate the activity and the speed of the data transmission (Mbit/s). The respective upper LED indicates whether the interface is connected to a network. If this is the case, the LED lights up green. The LED flashes when data transmission is in progress on the interface.
The respective lower LED indicates the speed of the data transmission. If the speed is 100 Mbit/s the LED is orange, at 1000 Mbit/s it is green.
Since the LEDs directly at the interface cannot be seen with an existing wiring, the LEDs on the side panel of the PC (see Fig. 6) show the status of the Ethernet interfaces.
