1.1 General outline of the system
1) N4E0-T7EC
N4E0-T7EC is a slave unit for N4E0 that can be connected to EtherCAT, an Ethernet open network
system. Features include the following:
(1) The slave unit is connected to PLC with only a network cable (Category 5 or higher), allowing
significant reduction in wiring man-hours.
(2) The unit power and the valve power are separated, ensuring easy maintenance.
(3) The slave unit address can either be set by using a hard switch or by writing from the PLC.
(4) The slave unit is available in +COM specification and 16 or 32 output points, allowing it to be
used in a wide variety of applications.
(5) It is possible to select the extraction direction of the power connector and communication
connector, and it can be used in a wide range of applications.
2) EtherCAT
EtherCAT is a network that uses EtherCAT Slave Controller to send and receive data at a high speed.
This network enables super-high speed communication that differs from conventional Ethernet
communication.
EtherCAT specifications have been standardized in several international standards (IEC 61158, IEC
61784, IEC 61800, and ISO 15745) and in a SEMI standard (E54.20). The EtherCAT Technology
Group keeps EtherCAT technology open, allowing all users to use the EtherCAT technology.
Make sure to read the instruction manual for each product.
This Instruction Manual mainly describes the slave unit (N4E0-T7EC).
For master units and other slave units that are connected in the same system as the product,
read the instruction manuals issued by each manufacturer.
For manifold solenoid valves, make sure to read both this Instruction Manual and the instruction
manual for the solenoid valve to fully understand the functions and performance in order to use
the valves correctly.
EtherCAT is a patented technology and registered trademark licensed by Beckhoff Automation
GmbH & Co. KG, Germany.
