Procedure to Replace an EtherCAT Slave
To replace an EtherCAT slave connected to the Programmable Multi-Axis Controller, you can only dis-
connect the target slave and slaves connected after it from the EtherCAT network. This enables you to
replace slaves without interrupting the total communication system when performing maintenance or
replacement work in the case a slave malfunctions.
The following describes the basic procedure to replace a slave connected to the Programmable
Multi-Axis Controller.

Step
Restore the backup file to the Programmable
Multi-Axis Controller by using Power PMAC IDE.
Then, verify the file restored to the Programmable
Multi-Axis Controller with the backup file to ensure
that the backup file has been adequately restored.
Activate the EtherCAT network by using Power
PMAC IDE and change the state of the connected
EtherCAT slaves to an operational state.
By using Power PMAC IDE and the actual
machine, check the motor settings and that the
program has been adequately restored.
Step
By using Power PMAC IDE, instruct the slave to be
replaced and slaves connected after it to change to
the init state. The init state is a state where com-
munications cannot be carried out.
Then, ensure that the state transition of the slaves
has been completed successfully.
Turn OFF the unit power supply of the slave to be
replaced or remove the EtherCAT communications
cable to disconnect the slave from the EtherCAT
network.
Connect a new slave to the EtherCAT network, and
turn ON the unit power supply of the slave. In
doing so, reconfigure the settings, if required, by
referring to the manual for the slave.
By using Power PMAC IDE, instruct the slave in
the init state to change to the communications sta-
tus (pre-operational state, safe-operational state,
or operational state) and allow it to connect to the
EtherCAT network. Refer to "Power PMAC Soft-
ware Reference Manual" for detailed instructions.
Make sure that the state transition of the slaves
has been completed successfully.
