7.1 Ethernet
WARNING Do not connect EtherCAT to any other Ethernet networks.
The high rate of telegrams which are transmitted by Ether-
CAT will prevent other devices like computers and servers on
the network from transmitting data.
There is a danger of
• Network overload/breakdown
• Malfunction of connected devices
• Data loss at connected devices
It is strongly recommended to use cables of a special color
only for EtherCAT connections.
Refer to the following for information about using the Ethernet interface to facilitate
communication between the MSC II control module and the MACS development
environment:
�-"3.1-M3000 ® System Architecture" on page 14

7.1.1 Peer-to-Peer Connections
To establish a peer-to-peer connection between 2-stations in an Ethernet network,
100BaseT cables with twisted pair wires are needed.
