3.3.12 EtherCAT IN (X14; X14a) & EtherCAT OUT (X15; X15a)
The Disk EtherCAT features two NET connectors for EtherCAT. One serves for NET input, the other for
NET output. Both sockets are identical in respect to their external wiring.
Wrong plugging may cause hardware damage
Even though both NET sockets are prepared for identical external wiring, make sure to always connect
them as follows.
• Use IN (X14 or X14a) as «Input».
• Use OUT (X15 or X15a) as «Output».
For detailed information see separate document
«EPOS4 Communication Guide».
