Wiring the Power Inputs
The 4-contact terminal block connector on the top panel of Industrial EtherCAT
Junction Slave is used for two 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 from getting an
electric shock.
-
Insert positive and negative DC power wires into contacts 1 and 2 or contacts 3 and 4 for POWER.
Figure 3: IECJ-300 Top View
-
Tighten the wire-clamp screws for preventing the wires from loosening.
Note:
- The DC power input range is 9-48V DC.
- 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, a sudden
lightning could cause fatal damage to the device.
Note:
EMD (Lightning) DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
Installation
This section guides you to installing the Industrial EtherCAT Junction Slave on the DIN rail and wall. Please read this chapter completely before continuing.
Note:
This following pictures show the user how to install the device, and the
device is not IECJ-300

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 the Port 1 of the IECJ-300 and RJ45 Ethernet port of 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 is 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-300
Step 3:
Verify the “P1” LED indicator on the IECJ-300 module is Green; “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-300.

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 PLANET website
(https://www.planet.com.tw/en/support/downloads?&method=keyword&keyword=IECJ300)
and check the online FAQs for the installation of the XML device.
Step 1: Automatic Scanning
- The EtherCAT system must be in the safe, de-energized state before the IECJ-300 module is connected to 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 state.
