[ROB] Q&A - [RC8] Can I run the ethernet cable from my LAN port through the EIP board port?

Is it possible to run my ethernet cable from my LAN port through the 2nd port on my Ethernet IP board?


Answer

Yes, on a Denso RC8(A) robot controller, you can daisy chain the LAN port cable through the 2nd Ethernet IP port on the Ethernet IP board. However, if there is a large amount of traffic through your EIP network or you are using additional features such as Exclusive Control and Cooperative Motion, then it is not recommended to run the LAN port communications through the same switches/hubs as your EIP network.
