WCS* Read Head Position Encoding System
EtherNet/IP Interface (LS5xx*)
Y-splitter
There are various options available for the electrical connection. A hybrid cable (see chapter
12.1) with a common data and supply line can be connected directly to the read head. Alterna-
tively, data and supply lines can be routed separately with the Y-splitter.

You can obtain the appropriate connectors and cables from Pepperl+Fuchs, see chapter 12.1.
Note
A shielded twisted pair cable that meets at least the CAT 5e/CAT 6 specification is used to
connect the read head to the control panel. The maximum recommended cable length is 75 m
for CAT 5e and 55 m for CAT 6. Longer distances are possible provided that the respective
specifications are observed. The connection can be implemented with various cable types
available from Pepperl+Fuchs.
