ETH 2/3:
EtherСAT Connections
The user can order one to two EtherCAT Master Ports, ETH 2 and ETH 3, with the Power Brick
controller. Both ports can accept standard CAT-5 Ethernet cables with RJ-45 connectors. Both EtherCAT
ports provide transformer isolation to prevent ground-loop problems. Each port can control its own
EtherCAT ring, allowing Power PMAC to be the master to two separate rings simultaneously.
Note
Two EtherCAT rings can be controlled by one Power PMAC by
utilizing both ETH2 and ETH3 EtherCAT ports.
