Chapter 4 Cable Connections and Communication
Ethernet Connection
The PanelView 800 terminals have an Ethernet port that supports:
• communication to a controller.
• connection to a computer for accessing the PanelView Explorer Startup
window and downloading applications from Connected Components
Workbench to the terminal.
Ethernet Connector
The base-configured unit of the terminals has an RJ45, 10/100 Base-T connector
for Ethernet network communication.
Ethernet Connector Pinout
Either a standard Ethernet cable or crossover cables such as 2711P-CBL-EX04
can be used when connecting directly to a logic controller or switch.
Cables
The PanelView 800 terminals require category 5 twisted-pair cables. The
maximum cable length between the terminal’s Ethernet port and a 10/100
Base-T port on an Ethernet hub (without repeaters or fiber) is 100 m (328 ft). In
industrial applications, keep the cable length to a minimum.
