ECAT-2011H EtherCAT Slave I/O module

3. Getting Started

This chapter provides a basic overview of how to configure and operate your ECAT-2011H module.

3.1 Connecting the Power and the Host PC

Step 1 Connect the IN port on the ECAT-2011H module to the RJ-45
Ethernet port on the Host PC.
Ensure that the network settings on the Host PC have been correctly configured and the connection
rd
is functioning normally. Ensure that the Windows or 3 -party firewall or any Anti-virus software is
properly configured to allow incoming connections, or temporarily disable these functions.
NOTE
Attaching an ESC (EtherCAT Slave Controller) directly to an office network will result in network flooding, since the
ESC will reflect any frame – especially broadcast frames – back into the network (broadcast storm).
 Connect the Host device to the IN Port on the ECAT-2011H module.
 Connect the +Vs pin on the ECAT-2011H module to the positive terminal on a +10 ~ +30 V
DC
power supply, and connect the GND pin on the ECAT-2011H module to the negative terminal.
