2 CABLE CONNECTION
This chapter describes information relating to the Ethernet connection.
CAUTION
1 Devices that transmit communication data of an
Ethernet other than the FL-net must not be
connected to the FL-net network.
If such a device is connected, FL-net
communication may not be performed properly.
2 Before connecting a cable to or detaching it from
the FL-net board, turn off the power to the CNC,
and confirm that the power is off.
3 Please inquire of each manufacturer about the
construction of network or the condition of using
the equipment except the FL-net board (hub,
transceiver, cable etc.). When configuring your
network, you must take other sources of electrical
noise into consideration to prevent your network
from being influenced by electrical noise. Make
sure that network wiring is sufficiently separated
from power lines and other sources of electrical
noise such as motors, and ground each of the
devices as necessary. Also, a high and insufficient
ground impedance may cause interference during
communications. After installing the machine,
conduct a communications test before you actually
start operating the machine.
We cannot ensure operation that is influenced by
network trouble caused by a device other than the
FL-net board.
