Installation of EJ modules Installation of EJ modules Power supply for the EtherCAT plug-in modules WARNING Power supply A SELV/PELV power supply must be used to supply power for the EJ coupler and modules. Couplers and modules have to be connected to SELV/PELV circuits exclusively. The signal distribution board should have a power supply designed for the maximum possible current load of the module string.
