1.6 Proper use
The DX-NET-ETHERCAT-2 fieldbus connection is an electrical piece of equip-
ment that can be used to control DA1 variable frequency drives and connect
them to a standard EtherCAT field bus system. It is intended to be installed
in a machine or assembled with other components into a machine or system.
It makes it possible for DA1 series variable frequency drives to be integrated
as slaves into EtherCAT field bus systems.

Motor(s)
The EtherCAT cable coming from the master needs to be plugged into the IN
RJ45 socket. The outgoing connection from the DX-NET-ETHERCAT-2
module needs to be connected using the OUT socket.
Simply leave the OUT socket on the last device (variable frequency drive)
alone. A bus termination resistor is not necessary.

The DX-NET-ETHERCAT-2 fieldbus connection is not a house-
hold appliance, but rather a component intended exclusively for
use in commercial applications.

Observe the technical data and connection requirements
described in this manual.
Any other usage constitutes improper use.
