Safety Precautions (continued)
•
Connection with the network
CAUTION
1. Don't engage in attaching or detaching the DeviceNet cable with the network side
connector during network operation. Failing to do so can cause reverse connection
or short circuit of the network power, resulting in no communication with other nodes.
2. When you connect the DeviceNet cable with the network side connector, be sure not
to make the wrong connection. Failing to do so can cause short circuit of the network
power, resulting in no communication with other nodes.
3. Neither attach nor detach the network side connector with the device side connector
on the DN211 front panel while T2/T2E/T2N is rising just after the power is turned ON.
Failing to do so can cause the DN211 to fail or malfunction.
4. Attaching the opposite end of the network side connector with/from the device side
connector is not possible because of the specific form. Trying connecting the wrong
end by excessive force can damage both the network side connector and the device
side connector.
5. Be sure not to wire the cable in too tightly stretched state or in bent state.
Also, don't put heavy stuff on the cable. Otherwise, the cable could break.
6. Ask the qualified expert for the installation work of the DeviceNet cables because it
requires sufficient safety and noise-suppression measures. Refer to DeviceNet
Volume I, Release 1.3, for the standard installation.
