BECKHOFF EP9128 - Manual (Page 28)

Mounting and cabling
1 ) colored markings according to EN 61918 in the four­pin RJ45 connector ZS1090­0003
2 ) wire colors according to EN 61918
3 ) wire colors
Note
Assimilation of color coding for cable ZB9030, ZB9032 and ZK1090­3xxxx­
xxxx (with M8 connectors)
For unification the prevalent cables ZB9030, ZB9032 and ZK1090­3xxx­xxxx this means
the pre assembled cables with M8 connectors were changed to the colors of EN61918 (yel­
low, orange, white, blue).So different color coding exists. But the electrical properties are
absolutely identical.
EtherCAT connectors
The following connectors can be supplied for use in Beckhoff EtherCAT systems.
Designation Plug connector Comment
ZS1090­0003 RJ45 four­pin, IP20, for field assembly
ZS1090­0004 M12 four­pin, IP67, for field assembly
ZS1090­0005 RJ45 eight­pin, IP20, for field assembly,
suitable for Gigabit Ethernet
ZS1090­0006 M8 four­pin, IP67, for field assembly
ZS1090­0007 M8 socket four­pin, IP67, for field assembly, for ZB903x cable
ZS1090­1006 M8 plug four­pin, IP67, for field assembly up to OD = 6.5 mm
ZS1090­1007 M8 socket four­pin, IP67, for field assembly up to OD = 6.5 mm
4.2.2 EtherCAT cable
For connecting EtherCAT devices only shielded Ethernet cables that meet the requirements of at least
category 5 (CAt5) according to EN 50173 or ISO/IEC 11801 should be used.
Note
Recommendations about cabling
You may get detailed recommendations about cabling EtherCAT from the documentation
"Recommendations for the design of the infrastructure for EtherCAT/Ethernet", that is avail­
able for download at www.Beckhoff.com.
EtherCAT uses 4 wires for signal transfer.
Due to automatic cable detection (auto­crossing) symmetric (1:1) or cross­over cables can be used between
EtherCAT devices from Beckhoff.
A selection of cables for EtherCAT follows.
Other cables with various lengths will be found in the Beckhoff price list, and under www.beckhoff.com.
