8-3 EtherCAT communication function
Only JSDG2S-E(L) contain this
function
8-3-1 EtherCAT Overview
In this chapter, we will introduce EtherCAT communication specification, communication structure,
object utilization and mode control of the servo driver. The chapter will be divided into: system parameter
setting, basic characteristics, EtherCAT communication, servo control and detailed description of object
list. Through this document, the user can have a basic understanding and use CANopen communication.
8-3-2 EtherCAT Basic Features
(1) Port message
When the user needs to use EtherCAT communication, JSDG2S servo driver provides two RJ-45
ports CN5 & CN6 on the hardware. This facilitates the drive and control to a single or multiple slave
stations when using EtherCAT communication.
