When setting up Ethernet-based fieldbus network connection topology, terminal blocks are assigned for individual Ethernet connectors to separate the ground wire if it is necessary to ground the shield of Ethernet cable from the fieldbus communication board of robot controller. Ethernet connector housings are not connected to each other but respectively connected to corresponding terminal blocks. Therefore, individual Ethernet lines can be grounded by inserting the ground lines to terminal blocks and connecting them to the enclosure grounds of controllers if necessary. The terminal blocks can be connected with 18 - 24 AWG single/stranded lines.
