Addressing the EtherCAT devices
The EtherCAT devices are normally addressed via a permanent 16-bit address dened by the
master. At the start, this address is assigned automacally to each node by the master,
depending on the physical order in the network. The address is not saved and gets lost when
the device is switched o.
"Explicit Device Idencaon" via rotary encoder switch or parameter
"Explicit Device Idencaon" is required if the device is part of a "Hot Connect" group or the
device is operated within a modular Lenze machine applicaon. Each slave receives an unam‐
biguous idener for being idened by the master.
Seng Assignment of the idener
0x00 Idener via the parameter 0x2361:004 (P510.04).
0x01 ... 0xFF Idener via the rotary encoder switches.
Example: Seng for the value 52
(3 × 16) + (4 × 1) = 52
The value set via the rotary encoder switches is used once when the mains is switched on or
aer a network restart with 0x2360 (P508.00) = 1. A changed value during operaon will only
become valid aer the network has been restarted.
As an alternave, a master can also use staon alias addresses of the slaves that are cong-
ured and unambiguous in the network. For this purpose, a staon alias address must be saved
in the EEPROM of the device by seng the corresponding register.

From version 02.00
Seng of the idener unambiguous in the network (Explicit Device
Idencaon).
This seng is only valid for rotary encoder switch seng 0 (0x00).
