Installing an EtherCAT Network
This section explains how to install an EtherCAT network.
Observe following precautions when installing an EtherCAT network:
•
Take sufficient safety measures.
•
OMRON recommends qualified engineers for all network related actions.
•
Install the network according to the network standards and the local standards.
•
Do not install EtherCAT network devices near any devices generating noise.
If noise can not be prevented then make sure to take noise measures such as housing each device in
metal cases.
•
Check all communication cables on cable breakage, short-circuits and a good connector.
•
Check for all connectors if the communication cable is locked to the device.
•
Install communication cables separate from high-voltage electrical power lines and from devices
generating noise.
•
Prevent using cables in high-temperature, high-humidity environment, powder dust and oil mist.
•
Do not use communication cables with a length of more then 100 meters.
•
Ensure the bending radius of communication cables is within the specifications of the supplier.
