CHAPTER 8 - CFW-09 OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES
Connector: RJ-45 connector with 8-pin
Pinout: twostandards for straight-throughcablesare available: EtherNet:
T-568A and T-568B. The function of each pin is shown in
The cable to be used with the CFW-09 shall follow one of these
two standards. Furthermore, only one standard shall be used for the
cables, i.e.,the connectors of both cableends shall be crimpedaccording
to standard T-568Aor T-568B
a) RJ-45 Plug - T-568A Standard
b) RJ-45 Plug - T-568B Standard
Straight-Through EtherNet cables
With the EtherNet 10BASE-T (10 Mbps) or 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps) the
line termination is already on the communication board and also on any
other device that uses a point-to-point twisted pair cable. Therefore, no
additional setting is needed for the CFW-09.
The CFW-09 can operate in an EtherNet network at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps
and also in half-duplex or full-duplex modes. Whenoperating at 100 Mbps
in full-duplex mode, the effective rate doubles to 200 Mbps. These
configurations are performed through the network configuration and
programming software. No board setting is needed. It is recommended to
use the auto-sensing resource.
Configuration File (EDS file)
Each device on an EtherNet/IP network is associated to an EDS file that
containsinformation aboutthedeviceoperation. TheEDSfileprovidedalong
with the product is used by the network configuration software.
