EtherCAT Indicators The following table summarizes the functions of the EtherCAT-specific indicator LEDs. Indicator Color/Status Meaning LA IN The Link Activity LED is ON when there is an EtherCAT connection. ON, flickering The Link Activity LED flickers when data is going back and forth. The Link Activity LED is OFF when there is no EtherCAT connection.

Mounting the Reader The reader provides mounting holes for attachment to a mounting surface. CAUTION: The reader has to be grounded, either by mounting the reader to a fixture that is electrically grounded or by attaching a wire from the reader’s mounting fixture to frame ground or Earth ground.
Page 29
Mounting the Reader in Right-Angle Configuration Align the holes on the mounting surface with the mounting holes on the reader. With the reader in right-angle position, only the back mounting holes can be used. Note: Mounting the reader at a slight angle (15°) reduces reflections and improves performance.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable’s RJ-45 connector to a switch/router or PC, as applicable. Note: Besides powering the DataMan 280 readers through a Breakout Cable, it is possible to power DataMan through PoE connection as well, in which case it is not necessary to use a Breakout Cable.
Page 31
Note: Do not plug the EtherCAT cable into an Ethernet network. You could damage your Ethernet network and disable your EtherCAT set. The DataMan 280 EtherCAT reader provides two 100 MBit EtherCAT ports in a single physical connector. One of the ports acts as input, and the other one as...

The DataMan 280 EtherCAT supports the following physical topologies: Star Line Ring Note: For detailed information on the supported EtherCAT configurations, see the DataMan Industrial Protocols Manual. Star EtherCAT Topology The star topology connects each reader to the PLC individually. This topology offers...
Page 33
Line EtherCAT Topology The line topology connects the readers in daisy chain. The output of one adapter cable is plugged into the input of the next one. The line starts at the output from the PLC, and ends at the input connector of the last reader. This topology reduces the cabling needed to connect all readers.
Page 34
Ring EtherCAT Topology The ring topology connects the readers in daisy chain. The output of one adapter cable is plugged into the input of the next one. The ring starts at the output from the PLC, and ends at the output of the last reader connected back to the PLC. This topology offers redundancy, since a reader can be reached from either direction.
3. Attach the M12 connector of the Power and I/O Breakout Cable to the 24 V DC connector of the reader. 4. Restore power to the 24 V DC power supply and turn it on if necessary. Using your Device through USB For a detailed description, see the DataMan 280 Reference Manual.
