7.6 Installing the communication module
In order to connect EtherCAT, CANopen or PROFINET, you need an EC6, CA6 or PN6
communication module. The communication module is installed in the upper slot. Installation is
identical for all communication modules.
DANGER!
Electrical voltage! Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock!
▪ Always switch off all power supply voltage before working on the devices!
▪ Note the discharge time of the DC link capacitors in the general technical data. You can
only determine the absence of voltage after this time period.
CAUTION!
Risk of damage to property due to electrostatic discharge!
Take appropriate measures when handling exposed circuit boards, e.g. wearing ESD-safe
clothing.
Do not touch contact surfaces.
