Important User Information Profinet Card
3 Important User Information
It is the installer's responsibility to follow all instructions in this manual and to follow correct
electrical practice.
3.1 Product Design
The Profinet Card allows the soft starter to connect to an Ethernet network and be
controlled or monitored using an Ethernet communication model.
Familiarity with Ethernet protocols and networks is required to operate the device
successfully. For difficulties using this device with third party products, including PLCs,
scanners and commissioning tools, contact the relevant supplier.

4.2 Network Connection
Ethernet Ports
The device has two Ethernet ports. If only one connection is required, either port can be
used.
Cables
Use Category 5, 5e, 6 or 6e cable to connect to the device.
EMC Precautions
To minimise electromagnetic interference, Ethernet cables should be separated from motor
and mains cables by 200 mm.
If the Ethernet cable must cross motor or mains cables, the crossing should be at an angle
of 90°.
4.3 Network Establishment
The controller must establish communications directly with each device before the device
can participate in the network.
4.4 Addressing
Each device in a network is addressed using a MAC address and a device name. The MAC
address is fixed within the device and is printed on a label on the front of the device.
