2.4 Connecting the EtherCAT
Dual RJ-45 connectors accept standard Ethernet cables and are categorized as 100BASE-TX
(100 Mb/sec) ports. CAT5 or CAT5e (or higher) cables should be used. The IN port connects to a
master, or to the OUT port of an upstream node. The OUT port connects to a downstream node.
If the drive is the last node on a network, only the IN port is used. No terminator is required on the
OUT port.
EtherCAT Status Indicator LEDs
The LEDs are used for indicating status of the EtherCAT. There are two Link/Activity LEDs (one for
each RJ-45 Ethernet connector) and two status LEDs (RUN and ERR).
L/A OUT
ERR
L/A IN
RUN
LED Color Status Description
Link / Activity Green
OFF no Ethernet connection
ON Ethernet is connected
Flickering activity on line
RUN Green
OFF initialization state
Blinking pre-operational state
Single Flash safe-operational state
ON operational state
ERR Red
OFF no error
Blinking general error
Single Flash sync error
Double Flash watch dog error
Notes:
• Flickering: Rapid flashing with a period of approximately 50ms (10Hz)
• Bl i nki ng: Fl ashi ng wi t h equal on and o� per i ods of 200ms ( 2. 5Hz)
• Si ngl e Fl ash: Repeat i ng on f or 200ms and o� f or 1s
• Doubl e Fl ash: Two flashes wi t h a per i od of 200ms f ol l owed by o� f or 1s
2.5 Setting the EtherCAT Node ID
When the drive’s ID is configured to be assigned by master controller in Stepper Suite software,
the master controller can set the EtherCAT node Alias ID to address 0004h of SII (Slave
Information Interface) EEPROM. The drive can get this ID value from SII EEPROM address
0004hafter power up.
2.6 Connecting the Motor
Connect the outgoing wires of the motor to the driver. For MOONS
’
stepping motors, please
connect the black, green, red and blue wires to the MA+, MA-, MB+, MB- of the driver in
sequence.
(NOTE: Do not damage or drag the cables on the motor.)
