4.7.3 Wiring the data interface
Wiring the Ethernet interface
1. Connect the RFU630 to the PC via an Ethernet cable (patch 1:1).
2. Set up communication via SOPAS ET configuration software.
Important! The Ethernet interface for the RFU630 has an Auto-MDIX function. This automatically
adjusts the transmission speed as well as any necessary crossover connections.
Wiring serial data interfaces
The maximum data transmission rate for the serial interface depends on the cable length
and on the type of interface. The following recommendations apply:
NOTICE
Damage to the internal interface module
If the serial data interfaces are wired incorrectly, then electronic components of the RFU630
could get damaged.
 Observe the information on wiring.
 Carefully check the wiring prior to switching on the RFU630.
The wiring is done using the connection module, please see:
Recommendation  Use shielded data cables (twisted pair leads).
 To prevent interference factors, do not lay data cables over a longer route in parallel
with power supply cables and motor cables, in cable channels, for example.
