5 Turning the Power ON Turn on the power to the devices con-
figuring the system.
6 Construction of
the EtherCAT
network
Installation of ESI
files
Install the ESI files of EtherCA
T slaves
to be connected to EC-Engineer.
Refer to the Acontis EC-Engineer
manual for details.
For information on the ESI file, refer
to the manual for the EtherCAT
slave.
EtherCAT slave
settings
Configure the EtherCAT communica-
tions settings by using EC-Engineer.
Then, create an ENI file used to down-
load the configured settings to the
Mo-
tion Controller.
Refer to the Acontis EC-Engineer
manual for details.
Activation of the
EtherCAT net-
work
Use Power PMAC IDE to download the
ENI file to the Motion Controller.
Make sure that the ENI file has been
correctly downloaded, and then acti-
vate the EtherCA
T network.
Refer to the Power PMAC IDE User
Manual (Cat. No. O016) for details.
