Ethernet Cable

For PanelView Plus 700 to 1500 terminals, use Belden 7921A shielded Ethernet
Category 5e cable according to TIA 568-B.1 and RJ45 connector according to IEC
60603-7 for compliance with the European Union 89/336/EEC EMC Directive.

The maximum cable length between the terminal’s Ethernet port and a 10/100
Base-T port on an Ethernet hub (without repeaters or fiber) is 100 m (328 ft). For
additional information, refer to the EtherNet/IP Media Planning and Installation
Manual, publication

ENET-IN001

Troubleshooting

If the terminal is not operating correctly, check the power, display settings, status
indicators, and review the system start-up and error messages.

Check for Adequate Power

A terminal that does not receive adequate power could cause unpredictable
behavior. Verify the power requirements in the

Specifications

table.

Check Status Indicators

The terminal has two status indicators to isolate operating problems.

COMM indicator (green) for communication

FAULT indicator (red) for hardware faults

When the terminal starts, the fault indicator should be off, except for a few brief
flashes, and the comm indicator on. If the indicators remain off, the power supply
or logic module has failed. Check the power cable. If the power is not within range,
replace the power supply. If the power is within range, replace the logic module.

WARNING

Do not connect or disconnect any communication cable with power applied to this device
or any device on the network. An electrical arc could cause an explosion in hazardous
location installations. Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before
proceeding.
