The indicators show the current operating status of the Unit and

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-
