4. If Power PMAC EtherLite is to be stored for several weeks before use, be sure that it is stored in a location that conforms to published storage humidity and temperature specifications stated in this manual.
Temperature, humidity and vibration specifications should also be considered. Power PMAC EtherLite can be mounted with a 4-hole panel mount, two U-shape notches on the bottom and two pear-shaped holes on top. Mounting is also identical to this on all peripheral devices.
Power PMAC EtherLite Hardware Reference Manual MACRO SETUP The procedure used for setting up the EtherLite for controlling MACRO Stations is identical to the procedure used for all MACRO Ring Controllers using Gate3 hardware. Therefore, please refer to the Power PMAC MACRO User Manual for setup instructions.
Power PMAC EtherLite Hardware Reference Manual ETHERCAT SETUP The procedure for setting up a Power PMAC EtherLite to use an EtherCAT ring is identical for all Power PMACs. Therefore, please refer to the EtherCAT Software Setup manual for details on how to set up an EtherCAT ring.
Power PMAC EtherLite Hardware Reference Manual LAYOUT & PINOUTS Layout This layout is for a fully populated EtherLite; that is, one with two EtherCAT Master Ports and with MACRO (RJ45 connections). The external dimensions of the EtherLite do not change, regardless of the options chosen.

Power PMAC EtherLite Hardware Reference Manual E1 EtherCAT Port (P20) The “E1” port is the second-to-top-connector on the front panel on the far left of the front of the EtherLite. This port can be used to control an additional EtherCAT ring. Its pinout can be seen below:...
Power PMAC EtherLite Hardware Reference Manual USB Connections The Power PMAC EtherLite board provides two USB ports on the front panel, one host port and one device port. Both provide USB 2.0 protocol communications. USB ports are not electrically isolated, so care must be taken in the grounding scheme when any separately powered device is connected to one of these ports.
