Function
The indicators show the current operating status of the Unit and
the connection status of the IN and OUT EtherCAT ports.
This switch sets the unit number of the EtherCAT Slave Unit as
a one-digit hexadecimal value.
These connectors are connected to the communications cables
of the EtherCAT network. There are two connectors: one for the
input port and one for the output port.
These switches set the node address as a two-digit hexadeci-
mal value.
