Hardware Introduction

This section describes the hardware features and installation of the Industrial EtherCAT Junction Slave series. To easily manage the Industrial EtherCATJunction Slave, familiarize yourself with its display indicators and ports. Front panel illustrations in this chapter display the LED indicators.

Three-View Diagram
The three-view diagram of the Industrial EtherCAT Junction Slave series consists of multiple 100BASE-TX RJ45 copper ports or one 100BASE-FX SFP slot (for IECJ-410FT), and one removable 4-pin power terminal block. The LED indicators are also located on the front panel.

Wiring the Power Inputs

The 4-contact terminal block connector on the top panel of the Industrial EtherCAT slave I/O module is used for one DC power input. Please follow the steps below to insert the power wire.

NOTE

When performing any of the procedures like inserting the wires or tightening the wire-clamp screws, make sure the power is OFF to prevent getting an electric shock.

1. Insert positive and negative DC power wires into contacts 1 and 2 for POWER.

• Tighten the wire-clamp screws for preventing the wires from loosening.

NOTE

1. The DC power input range is 9-48V DC.
2. The device provides input voltage polarity protection.

CAUTION

• PWR1 and PWR2 must provide exactly the same DV voltage for power load balance while operating with dual power input.

Grounding the Device

• Users MUST complete grounding wired with the device; otherwise, sudden lightning could cause fatal damage to the device.

NOTE

• EMD (Lightning) DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

Installation

• This section describes the functionalities of the Industrial EtherCAT slave I/O module’s components and guides you to install it on the DIN rail and wall. Please read this chapter completely before continuing.

NOTE

• The following pictures show the user how to install the device, and the device is not the IECJ series.

CAUTION

• You must use the screws supplied with the wall-mounting brackets. Damage caused to the parts by using incorrect screws would invalidate your warranty.

Getting Started

This chapter provides a basic overview of how to configure and operate your IECJ series.

Connecting the Power and the Host PC

Step 1

• Connect both Port 1 of the IECJ series and the RJ45 Ethernet port of the Host PC.
• Ensure that the network settings on the Host PC have been correctly configured and are functioning normally. Ensure that the Windows firewall and any anti-virus firewall are properly configured to allow incoming connections; if not, temporarily disable these functions.

NOTE

• Attaching an ESC (EtherCAT Slave Controller) directly to an office network will result in network flooding since the ESC will reflect any frame – especially broadcast frames – back into the network (broadcast storm).

Step 2

• Apply power to the IECJ series (Take the IECJ-300 for an example)

Step 3

• Verify the “P1” LED indicator on the IECJ series module is Green; the “Port 1” LED indicator is Green.

Configuration and Operation

• Beckhoff TwinCAT 3.x is the most commonly used EtherCAT Master software to operate the IECJ series. Click on the link below to download Beckhoff TwinCAT 3.x:  https://www.beckhoff.com/en-en/support/download-finder/software-and-tools/.

• Inserting into the EtherCAT network.

NOTE

• Installation of the latest XML device description (ESI). Make sure to use the latest installation description to install the latest XML device. This can be downloaded from PLANETwebsite (https://www.planet.com.tw/en/support/downloads?&method=keyword&keyword=IECJ)) and check the online FAQs for the installation of the XML device.

Automatic Scanning

Step 1

• The EtherCAT system must be in the safe, de-energized state before the IECJ series module is connected to the EtherCAT network.
• Switch on the operating voltage, open the TwinCAT System Managed (Config mode), and scan the devices as shown in the print screen instructions below. Acknowledge all dialogs with “OK”, so that the configuration is in the “FreeRun” mode.

Step 2: Configuration via TwinCAT In the left-hand window of the TwinCAT System Manager, click on the brand of the EtherCAT Box you wish to configure (Take the IECJ-300 for an example). Click Box 1 to get and configure the state.
