Inverter. 
 
*For details on how to mount the 

EtherCAT Communications 
Unit, 2-4 Mounting and Wiring 
for the EtherCAT 
Communication Unit in the 
Inverter MX2/RX Series 
EtherCAT Communications Unit 
User's Manual (Cat.No. I574). 

Removing the optional board cover from the Inverter front panel 

1. Loosen the mounting screw (x 1) from the optional board cover of the 

Inverter front panel. 

2. Remove the optional board cover. 

 

Mounting the EtherCAT Communication Unit onto the Inverter 

1. Mount the EtherCAT Communication Unit onto the location where the 

Inverter optional board cover that you removed was attached. Check 
that the connector is firmly connected. 

 

(Notes) When the EtherCAT Communication Unit is mounted, the main 

circuit and control circuit terminals of the Inverter are hidden. For 
this reason, be sure to wire the main circuit and control circuit 
terminals before mounting the EtherCAT Communication Unit. 

 
2. Tighten the mounting screw of the EtherCAT Communication Unit. 

Tighten the bottom right screw of the EtherCAT Communication Unit 

with the specified torque 

(46 N•cm, 4.7 kgf•cm). 

 

Connecting the ground cable of the EtherCAT Communication Unit 

1. Ground the FG cable of the EtherCAT Communication Unit. 

Cut the ground wire of the unit's FG cable to an appropriate length and 
ground it to the closest possible ground location. Also refer to the 
Inverter manual.
