- 40 - Aries Controller Hardware Installation Guide
Overview
The Aries Controller drive communicates in a standard Ethernet network,
thereby providing a direct link for sending commands through the ACR-View
online help system installed on a PC. This chapter describes how to establish
the standard Ethernet connection.
All models of the drive/controller have a dual-stack, standard RJ-45
connector, which provides two communications ports.
Ethernet Specifications
Ethernet Cable Specification
Use a braid over foil twisted pair cable (straight or crossover) for connection
to a PC. An example of this type of cable is L-COM TRD855SIG-XX. The
maximum cable length is 100m, as defined by Ethernet 100Base-TX
standards.
Ethernet Connector
A dual-stack, standard RJ-45 socket connector, located on the front panel of
the drive/controller, provides two communication ports that accommodate
ETHERNET connections. The two sockets of the connector are identical and
either may be used for direct connection to a PC network card.
To provide top noise performance, the connector contains isolation
transformers and common mode chokes for both the transmit and receive
signal pairs.
Figure 23 shows the plug and socket co
nnectors and their features.
