z Connecting to a large display type sensor amplifier
1
Connect the sensor amplifier to the EtherNet/IP Compatible Network Unit DL-EP1
using the optional expansion cable (OP-35361).
2
Detach the sensor amplifier connector (for DIN rail mounting type) of the
EtherNet/IP Compatible Network Unit DL-EP1 with pliers and mount the attached
expansion connector sticker.
Methods for connecting the DL-EP1 to the Ethernet are explained in this section.
„ Compatible cables
An STP (shielded twisted-pair) cable or UTP (unshielded twisted-pair) cable is used to con-
nect the DL-EP1 to the Ethernet.
The compatible cables differ when Ethernet is structured of 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX.
„ Connecting the cable
Connect the network cable to the RJ-45 connector.
*1 "D-bus" is the name of KEYENCE's wiring-saving system for sensor amplifiers.
*2 Varies with the sensor amplifiers connected.
• Turn OFF the power before connecting the expansion cable
and connect securely. Diagonal or otherwise improper inser-
tion may damage the equipment.
• Inserting or pulling the cable when the power is turned ON
may damage the equipment.

Ethernet Compatible cables
10BASE-T STP cable or Category 3 or higher UTP cable
100BASE-TX STP cable or Category 5 or higher UTP cable
• Use a straight cable when connecting DL-EP1 to the Ethernet switch.
• Use a cross cable when connect the DL-EP1 directly to a personal
computer.
