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.
2.4.1 EtherCAT Status Indicator LEDs
The LEDs are used for indicating status of the EtherCAT. STF05/10-ECX-H included two Link/
Activity LED(the right one of every RJ-45), two EtherCAT status LED(RUN and ERR)

2.5 Setting the EtherCAT Node ID
When the drive’s ID is congured 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 0004h
after power up. When the master station does not support automatic host allocation, you can
set a xed EtherCAT ID address through the Stepper Suite software. Note: The 7-segment nixie
tube displays the address value in decimal notation, and only displays the lower two digits of the
address, that is, 0 to 99.
