7.12.4 Connecting I/O Device via EtherNet/IP
The expansion unit FCU8-EX565 functions as a scanner or an adapter of EtherNet/IP. Connect the EtherNet/IP-
compatible equipment with an ethernet cable (category 5e or above and twisted pair shield cable).
For details, refer to "M800/M80 Series EtherNet/IP Specifications manual".
(Note 1) EtherNet/IP unit is equipped with two RJ-45 connectors (LAN1 and LAN2); however, the function of EtherNet/
IP is available only on LAN1. Do not connect any cable to LAN2 port.
[Noise countermeasures of ethernet cable]
When the EtherNet/IP expansion unit is being used, expose the cable by removing a part of the cable sheath and
make sure to use the shield clamp for the exogenous noise countermeasure.
When you cannot use the shield clamp, make sure to install a ferrite core as a substitute to ethernet cable (near the
expansion unit).
