Ethernet RJ45

The panel PC has an Ethernet RJ45 interface (X102) and an EtherCAT interface (X103). The X102 interface enables the connection of corresponding network components and data rates of 10/100 Mbit/s according to the Ethernet standards 10Base-T and 100Base-T. The X103 interface enables connection to an EtherCAT network.

The RJ45 connection technology with twisted-pair cables is used. The maximum length of the cable connection is 100 m.

The activity is displayed on the basis of the LEDs of the interfaces.

The right LED of the LAN1 interface indicates whether the interface is connected to a network. If this is the case, the LED lights up orange. The LED flashes when data transmission is in progress on the interface.

The left LED of the LAN1 interface indicates the speed of data transmission. If the speed is 100 Mbit/s, the LED lights up green.

At the EtherCAT interface only the right LED is in operation. If the interface is connected to a network, the LED lights up orange. The LED flashes when data transmission is in progress on the interface.
