Install the PanelView 5500 Terminal
Connect to a Network
The two Ethernet ports connect to controllers on an EtherNet/IP network by
standard Ethernet connections. These network topologies are supported:
•
Device Level Ring Network Topology
•
•
Each of these EtherNet/IP network topologies supports applications that use
Integrated Motion over an EtherNet/IP network, if necessary.
Ethernet Ports
The Ethernet ports have two 10/100Base-T connectors for network
communication and supports MDI/MDI-X connections and DLR network
topology.
The terminal connects to an EtherNet/IP network by using a CAT5, CAT5E, or
CAT6 twisted-pair, Ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors.
The maximum cable length between the Ethernet ports and a 10/100Base-T port
on an Ethernet switch (without repeaters or fiber) is 100 m (328 ft).
IMPORTANT
The terminal has dual-Ethernet ports but one device IP address.
IMPORTANT
To help prevent accidental disconnection of the Ethernet cable:
•
To minimize vibration at the connector, and reduce the chance that
personnel that work inside the panel can accidentally disconnect the cable,
secure the Ethernet cable to the connector.
•
Do not install the Ethernet cable too tightly. To prevent pulling on the cable
when the panel door is opened and closed, leave some slack in the cable.
WARNING:
In hazardous locations, do not connect or disconnect any
communication cable with power applied to this device or any device on the
network. An electrical arc can cause an explosion in hazardous location
installations. Make sure that the power is off or the area is nonhazardous before
proceeding.
