4 Cabling the AC 800F
4-24
3. Connection via transceiver
This network connection should be used if you need branch cables from a
10Base2 cable or if an engineering station is to be connected alternately to
10Base2 and 10Base5 networks. You work with the AUI interface, independently
of the network type. In this case it is not necessary to reconfigure the network
board in the engineering station to change from AUI to coaxial interface which -
otherwise - would be required.
Connect several process stations and one engineering station using:
10Base2/AUI network
transceiver with 10Base2 T-
connector
Cable the system as shown in Figure 4-14.
Fig. 4-14 10Base2 connection via transceiver
Insert the 10Base2/AUI transceiver with the 10Base2 T-connector in the network
at the point where you intend to temporarily connect the engineering station. Link
them using the AUI cable. To disconnect the station while the system is running
proceed as follows:
Switch off
engineering station
Disconnect AUI cable
from transceiver
Transceiver remains installed.
