Assembly
Faulty wiring
Faulty wiring can lead to malfunctions as well as
damage to the bus system.
O Unless otherwise stipulated, comply with the
EtherCAT Technology Group (ETG) construction and
design directives.
O Only use cables that meet the Ethernet
specifications as well as the connection speed and
length requirements.
O In order to assure the protection class, the
shielding, and the required strain relief, the cable
and plug assembly should be done professionally.
Current conduction via differences in potential on the
shield
Compensating currents caused by differences in
potential must not flow through the shield of the
EtherCAT cable, as this will cancel the shielding, which
could damage the line and connected bus coupler.
O If necessary, connect the grounding points for the
system using a separate line.
6.3.1 General notes on connecting the bus
