Fieldbus Connection
The connectors related to the Fieldbus are X4 (In) and X5 (Out)
INFORMATION
Depending on type of filedbus, a different type of hardwate and firmware must be installed. If the connection is via
EtherCat, the file extention will be
”_ecat”
if via CanBus, it will be
”_can”
.
INFORMATION
If the connection to the drive is via EtherCat or CanOpen, the USB port is always available as a service port for PC-

CAN Connection (*)
The same connector is used for CAN interface.
A cable with a 120 ohm resistor at each end must be used for the connection. The cable length that may be used to guarantee safe
communication decreases as transmission speed increases. Refer to the following table: FOR LENGTHS OF OVER 100 meters,
contact the assistance service in order to verify the relationship between length/speed.
