Step 5: Connecting the EtherCAT
For information on connecting the EtherCAT, please refer to the product manual or contact Applied Motion Products Customer Support. Dual RJ-45 connectors (connection CN3) accept standard Ethernet cables and are categorized as 100BASE-TX (100 Mb/sec) ports. CAT5 or CAT5e (or higher) cables should be used. The IN port connects to a master, or to the OUT port of an upstream node. The OUT port connects to a downstream node. If the drive is the last node on a network, only the IN port is used. No terminator is required on the OUT port. For connection with a master controller, please refer to connection guide on the Applied Motion Products website.
