15.4.4 Ethernet Cabling
In order that the electromagnetic interference (EMI) would not effect the data
transfer, the installation of the cable should be done as close as possible to the
body of the machine.
It is recommended to wire the cable under the shelter of mechanical hits if the
installation environment makes it possible.
The cable must be installed as far away as possible from other cables with high
power.
The maximum length of a connection is 30 meters.
• This Ethernet connection is based on 10BASE-T/100BASE-T connection where two
twisted pairs are used.
• M12 connector is not a standard connecting format and to get the best operation
reliability the following issues should be considered in circuitry and installation; type of
the used cable, connecting the cable and the installation method.
15.4.4.1 Cable
If the installation environment requires a cable that takes heat and low temperature, the
minimum demand for the cable is under 20 m with connection Outdoor UTP Cat5E 4Pairs
(Water Blocking / UV Resistant).
For longer connections it is recommended to use cable Outdoor UTP Cat6 4Pairs (Water
blocking / UV Resistant), similar to it or better.

• (STP = Shielded Twisted Pair)
• (UTP= Unshielded Twisted Pair)
