10/100 Mbit/s.
You can communicate with STEP 7, SIMOTION SCOUT and SIMATIC NET OPC
via a PG/PC.
The networking is carried out via a twisted pair cable. For further information, refer
to the manual SIMATIC NET, Industrial Twisted Pair and Fiber Optic Networks,
refer to the List of References for the order number.
The following connection cables are recommended:
S SIMATIC NET, Ind. Ethernet TP XP CORD RJ45/RJ45, TP CORT pre-fabri-
cated with 2 RJ45 connectors, crossed transmit and receiving line
