8 Example of Operations for EtherCAT Communications
 Axis Settings for the Servo Drives (Node Addresses 3 and 4)
Add an axis to the Motion Control Setup and then assign the Servo Drive with node address 3 to the
axis to set the axis.
In the same way, add an axis and assign the Servo Drive with node address 4 to it.
 Setting EtherCAT Master Parameters
Set the parameters for the EtherCAT master from the EtherCAT master settings.
 Setting Slave Parameters
Set the slave parameters from the EtherCAT configuration slave settings. If a communications error
prevents the slaves from receiving signals from the EtherCAT master, the slave settings will control
the slave outputs.
 Assigning Tasks to Slaves
Use Task Settings to assign tasks to slaves.
• Set Period/Execution Conditions for each task from Task Settings.
• Set names of the tasks that are assigned to the slaves from I/O Control Task Settings.
