INSTALLATION
4.1 Connecting and wiring to the network connector socket
Although the EtherCAT network uses a standard Ethernet cable and has flexible wiring methods, there
are limits depending on the wiring material and equipment (master, hub, and other devices) used.
Always understand their specifications thoroughly before wiring. For more information, refer to the
instruction manuals issued by the master unit manufacturer or ETG (EtherCAT Technology Group).
The network plug is not supplied with the product. Separately purchase a network plug that satisfies
the specifications.
By wiring the network cable to a network plug, that plug can be connected to the network connector
socket on the slave unit.
