Installation of ESI
files
Install the ESI files of EtherCA
T slaves
to be connected.
Refer to the Power PMAC IDE
User Manual (Cat. No. O016) for
details.
For information on the ESI file, re-
fer to the manual for the EtherCAT
slave.
EtherCAT slave
settings
Configure the EtherCAT communica-
tions settings.
Then, create an ENI file used to down-
load the configured settings to the Mo-
tion Controller
.
Refer to the Power PMAC IDE
User Manual (Cat. No. O016) for
details.
Activation of the
EtherCAT network
Use Power PMAC IDE to download the
ENI file to the Motion Controller.
Make sure that the ENI file has been
correctly downloaded, and then activate
the EtherCA
T network.
Refer to the Power PMAC IDE
User Manual (Cat. No. O016) for
details.
