"Caution!
If high-energy transients occur when using long signal cables, we recommend connecting a suitable
overvoltage protection (e.g. E+H HAW560/562).
Use shielded signal lines for serial interfaces!
4.2.1 Cable specification, spring terminals
All connections on the rear of the unit are designed as screw or spring terminal blocks with reverse
polarity protection. This makes the connection very quick and easy. The spring terminals are
unlocked with a slotted screwdriver (size 0).
Please note the following when connecting:
• Digital I/O wire cross-section, RS485 and analog inputs: max. 1.5 mm2(14 AWG) (spring
terminals)
• Power wire cross-section: max. 2.5 mm2(13 AWG) (screw terminals)
• Relay wire cross-section: max. 2.5 mm2(13 AWG) (spring terminals)

4.2.6 "Ethernet" option
Ethernet connection
An IEEE 802.3 compatible connector on a shielded RJ45 plug on the rear side of the unit is available
as a network connection. Through this connection, the unit can be connected with a hub or switch
to units in an office environment. For safe spacing distances, the office equipment standard EN
60950 must be observed. The pin assignment corresponds to a standard MDI interface (AT&T258),
so that a shielded 1:1 cable with a maximum length of 100 meters (328 ft) can be used here. The
Ethernet interface is designed as 10BASE-T. Direct connection to a PC is possible with a crossover
cable. Half duplex and full-duplex data communication is supported.
Fig. 8: RJ45 socket (assignment AT&T256)
LED description
Beneath the Ethernet connection (see rear of unit) there are two light emitting diodes which
indicate the status of the Ethernet interface.
• Yellow LED: link signal; is on when the unit is connected to a network. If this LED is not
illuminated then communication is impossible.
• Green LED: Tx/Rx; when the unit is receiving or sending data it flashes irregularly, otherwise is
continuously on.
4.2.7 USB connection
USB connection
A compatible USB connection (V1.1, lowspeed 1.5 Mbit/s) is available on a shielded USB-B socket
at the front of the unit. The unit can be connected to a laptop via this connection. The pin
assignment corresponds to a standard USB interface, so that a shielded standard cable with a
maximum length of 3 meters (9.8 ft) can be used here.
!Note!
USB2.0 is compatible to USB1.1, i.e. communication is possible.

Wiring
18
4.2.8 Option "RS232/RS485 interface"
RS232 connection
A compatible RS232 connection is available on a shielded SUB-D9 socket at the rear of the unit.
This can be used to transmit data or programs or as a modem connection. The pin assignment
corresponds to a standard RS232 interface, so that a shielded 1:1 cable can be used here.
RS485 connection
A compatible RS485 connection is available on the rear of the unit. This can be used to transmit
data or programs or as a modem connection. Use a shielded cable.
"Caution!
Only one interface can be used at any one time (RS232 or RS485).
4.3 Degree of protection
At the front, the unit meets all the requirements of ingress protection IP54.
4.4 Post-connection check
After completing the unit's electrical connections, carry out the following checks:
