5.1.1 Node Setting
For the 264IF-01 Module that is a slave device in EtherCAT systems, the communication parameter settings and I/O
data allocations are made using an MPE720 connected to an MP2000 Series Machine Controller CPU.
For the EtherCAT master device, the device description files provided by the vendors of each of the slave devices are
installed, and the slave node information is configured using a configuration tool (for example TwinCAT made by
Beckhoff Inc.).
If there is a mismatch between the configuration information of the slave set at the master node and the slave node
information of the 264IF-01 Module, the 264IF-01 Module is not recognized by the master node and a communication
error occurs.

( 1 ) Device Description File
The device description file of the 264IF-01 Module is found in the installation disk of the Programming Device Soft-
ware MPE720. The following four patterns of allocation are provided in the device description files of the 264IF-01
Module.
• Allocation of 32 input words and 32 output words
File name: Yaskawa MP2000 In32-Out32 V1.00.xml
• Allocation of 100 input words and 100 output words (maximum equal allocation for input/output)
File name: Yaskawa MP2000 In100-Out100 V1.00.xml
• Allocation of 2 input words and 198 output words (maximum output allocation)
File name: Yaskawa MP2000 In2-Out198 V1.00.xml
• Allocation of 198 input words and 2 output words (maximum input allocation)
File name: Yaskawa MP2000 In198-Out2 V1.00.xml
The user can use the module with the input/output sizes in the device description files customized. For details on the
method for customization, see B.2 Appendix C Device Description File.
