6.3 Interface Layout and Description
The following figure shows the interface and indicator layout of the MD500‑ECAT card.
The pin header J7 on the back of the MD500‑ECAT card is used to connect the AC
drive. The MD500‑ECAT card provides two network ports (J4 and J6) for
communication with the master (or the upstream slave) and the downstream slave (if
any).
