6. EtherCAT Connection Procedure
This section describes the procedures to connect the Controller and Servo Driver via
EtherCAT, and to operate the motion control devices. The description assumes that the
Controller is set to factory default.
If an uninitialized Controller is used, the motion control devices may perform
unexpected operations upon power-on depending on the Controller status,
resulting in a personal injury to the user.
To prevent unexpected operations of motion control devices, be sure to initialize
the Controller before connecting the motion control devices and the Controller
via Ethernet cable.
