5.2 Starting Method

5.2.1 Basic Sequence

Start the devices or items in an EtherCAT network in the following order.
1.
Master Node
2.
Slave Nodes
3.
Initialization Sequence Operation between the Master and Slave Nodes
4.
Communications between Master and Slave Nodes
The data refresh start timing becomes effective at the point when the 264IF-01 Module's state machine becomes
OPERATIONAL. From a ladder application, you can get to know that communication has started by viewing the sys-
tem register.

5.2.2 Midstream Association

In the EtherCAT network, the master node controls the start sequence for each slave node. For this reason, midstream
association of a 264IF-01 Module in an EtherCAT network in which communication is in progress is possible. How-
ever, it is necessary that a normal configuration has been set for the EtherCAT master device and the 264IF-01 Module.
