Connecting PROFINET
PROFINET connection
Connecting PROFINET
Connect Ethernet cable according to PROFINET
specification to higher-level controller and / or the next
PROFINET node ①.
Use a shielded Ethernet cable with shielded connector
for the connection.
We recommend RJ45 connectors from the Siemens
FastConnect system as connectors for the Ethernet
cabling.
Always apply the shields of the PROFINET Ethernet cable
at both ends.
Note
To increase the mechanical stability, optimized retaining collars
② for the two Ethernet
connectors are installed on the bottom part of the housing in the delivery state. These
retaining collars are intended for the Siemens FastConnect connectors.
NOTICE
Make sure you observe the minimum bending radius of the Ethernet cable; otherwise the
shield effect of the cable shield may be impaired. There is also the risk that the cable shield
breaks.
NOTICE
EMC stability is only guaranteed with shielded PROFINET cables.
