PROFINET Interface (LS6xx*)
8 PROFINET Interface (LS6xx*)
The WCS3B-LS6xx* read heads are PROFINET I/O devices that communicate cyclically with
the assigned PROFINET I/O controller during operation.
The PROFINET interface of the WCS3B-LS6xx* read heads supports:
• A transfer rate of 100 Mbit/s
• The real-time category RT
• The range of functions in accordance with Conformance Class B
• The identification and maintenance functions (I&M) IM0 – IM4

Note
A shielded twisted pair cable that meets at least the CAT 5e/CAT 6 specification is used to
connect the read head to the control panel. The maximum recommended cable length is 75 m
for CAT 5e and 55 m for CAT 6. Longer distances are possible provided that the respective
specifications are observed. The connection can be implemented with various cable
connections available from Pepperl+Fuchs.
