Mounting to DIN rail Pull down the DIN lever of the NETC01-M2 and lock it. Hang the hook at the rear to the DIN rail, and push in the NETC01-M2. After installation, secure the both sides of the NETC01-M2 with the end plate.
How to ground The cable used to ground the NETC01-M2 and mains filter must be as thick and short as possible so that no potential difference is generated. Choose a large, thick and uniformly conductive surface for the grounding point.
Page 10
Installation Notes about installation and wiring • Connect the NETC01-M2 and other peripheral control equipment directly to the grounding point so as to prevent a potential difference from developing between grounds. • When relays or electromagnetic switches are used together with the system, use noise filters and CR circuits to suppress surges generated by them.
Connection Connection This chapter explains the connection method of the NETC01-M2 and power supply/communication cable, as well as the grounding method. For protection against electric shock, do not turn on the power supply until the wiring is completed. Connection example...
• When connecting, pay attention to the polarity of the power supply. Reverse-polarity connection may cause damage to the NETC01-M2. • Do not wire the power supply cable of the NETC01-M2 in the same cable duct with other power lines. Doing so may cause malfunction due to noise.
The power supply connector (CN1), MECHATROLINK-II communication connectors (CN2-1, CN2-2), data edit connector (CN3) and RS-485 communication connector (CN6) of the NETC01-M2 are not electrically insulated. When grounding the positive terminal of the power supply, do not connect any equipment (PC, etc.) whose negative terminal is grounded.
Guidance Guidance If you are new to the NETC01-M2, read this section to understand the operating methods along with the operation flow. As an example, this chapter explains how to perform positioning operation for the “CRK Series FLEX Built-in controller type [described as the CRD-KD in this manual], ”...

How did it go? Were you able to operate the motor properly? If the motor does not function, check the following points: • Is any alarm present in the NETC01-M2 or CRD-KD? • Are the address number, transmission rate and termination resistor set correctly? •...
Operation mode setting switch (SW2-Nos.1 to 3) Be sure to turn off the NETC01-M2 power before setting the switches. If the switches are set while the power is still on, the new switch settings will not become effective until the NETC01-M2 power is cycled.
Setting Station address Set the station address using the two MECHATROLINK-II station address setting switches (STATION No.×1 and ×10). When connecting two or more MECHATROLINK-II compatible products, do not set duplicate station address. Set the tens place with the “STATION No.×10” switch and the ones place with the “STATION No.×1” switch. Setting range 60h to 7Fh Factory setting 61h (×10: 6, ×1: 1)
This chapter explains the MECHATROLINK-II communication format that the NETC01-M2 supports. Data format The outline of the data format for MECHATROLINK-II communication is shown below. The NETC01-M2 is compatible with the cyclic communication mode. The cyclic communication mode of MECHATROLINK-II communication specifies that the header fields are 1 byte to 4 bytes and the data fields are 5 bytes and later.

The control like the ON-OFF switching of I/O signals can be executed using serial communication. When remote I/O of the NETC01-M2 is assigned to the register of the master station, it is possible to control using remote I/O via the NETC01-M2. The following functions can be executed using remote I/O.
