9-3-2 Devices Required for Constructing a Network
The basic configuration for a 100Base-TX Ethernet System consists of one
hub to which nodes are attached in star form using twisted-pair cable. The
devices shown in the following table are required to configure a network with
100Base-TX-type CP1W-CIF41, so prepared them in advance.
Recommended Hubs For detail on recommended devices for constructing a network, refer to 9-8-3
Network Installation.
(3) Hub
CX-Programmer
CX-Integrator
(2) Twisted pair cable
(1) CP1W-CIF41
CP1L/CP1H Series PLC
Network device Contents
(1) Ethernet Option Board
(CP1W-CIF41)
The Ethernet Option Board is a Communication Unit
that connects a CP1H series or CP1L series PLC to
100Base-TX Ethernet networks.
(They can also be used as 10Base-T.)
(2) Twisted-pair cable This is twisted-pair cable for connecting 100Base-TX
type Ethernet Option Board to the hub, with an RJ45
Modular Connector at each end.
Use a category 3, 4, 5, or 5e UTP (unshielded twisted
pair) or STP (shielded twisted-pair) cable.
(3) Hub This is a relay device for connecting multiple nodes in a
star LAN.
