Wiring the Ethernet Connector
WARNING
HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR BURN
Connect the ground wire to the protective ground (PE) terminal before you establish any further connections. When you remove connections, disconnect the ground wire last. For noise immunity, EMC compliance, and safety, connect the Ethernet cable shield to PE ground at the Ethernet switch.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
The TSX ETC 101 communication module communicates over an EtherNet/IP network through a single RJ45 connector located in the upper half of the module.
