Connection
Note
Risk of damage to the device!
Bring the EtherCAT/EtherCAT P system into a safe, powered down state before starting installation, disassembly or wiring of the modules!
EtherCAT P is supplied and forwarded via two EtherCAT P-coded M8 connectors at the upper end of the modules:
- IN: left M8 connector in EtherCAT P coding for EtherCAT P power supply
- OUT: right M8 connector in EtherCAT P coding for EtherCAT P forwarding
Pin assignment
The contacts of the EtherCAT P-coded M8 connectors have a maximum current capacity of 3 A.
Contact | Signal | Voltage | Core colors1) |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | Tx + | GNDS | yellow |
2 | Rx + | GNDP | white |
3 | Rx - | UP: Peripheral voltage, +24 VDC | blue |
4 | Tx - | US: control voltage +24 VDC | orange |
Housing | Shield | Shield | Shield |
1) The core colors apply to EtherCAT P cables and ECP cables from Beckhoff.
Note
Pay attention to the maximum permissible current!
Pay attention also for the redirection of EtherCAT P, the maximum permissible current for M8 connectors of 3 A must not be exceeded!
