1.3.4 Network connections
There are two 4-pin, D-coded M12 sockets on the bus node
for the network connection. The sockets are compatible with
SPEEDCON plugs.
Both connections have “Auto-Negotiation” and “Crossover”
detection (factory setting).
When crossover detection is activated, the bus node automat
ically exchanges the transmitted and received data.
If crossover detection is deactivated, assignment of the pins
for transmitted and received data at the XP2 connection is
crossed. As a result, several bus nodes in a row can each be
connected with a patch cable.
