GRT1-series EtherCAT Communication Unit - Operation Manual
Limitations
SmartSlice I/O Units cannot be configured nor accessed through the EtherCAT Communication Unit
SmartSlice I/O Units are only supported with their default I/O data configuration.
• E.g. adding status flag information with GRT1-AD2 is not supported and will cause an error during
startup
The EtherCAT Communication Unit connects to the Master with an Ethernet network cable and it is
directly connected to one or more SmartSlice I/O Units.
Precautions for Correct Use
The refresh cycles of the EtherCAT network and the SmartSlice units are independent and not
synchronised. Therefore a small "quasi-random" delay exists in the communication between the
EtherCAT network and the SmartSlice I/O Units
To use units of the NJ-serie a GRT1-ECT Version 2.0 (Ver.2.0) or higher is required.
The Version number of the GRT1-ECT is printed on the side of the GRT1-ECT.
Refer to "4-1-1 Frontview and Sideview" on page 4 - 2 for the location of the Version number.
The GRT1-ECT Ver.1.0 is supported by Trajexia firmware version 2.0132 or higher.
The GRT1-ECT Ver.2.0 or higher is supported by Trajexia firmware version 2.0152 or higher.
The Version number of the GRT1-ECT is printed on the side of the GRT1-ECT.
To find the firmware version of Trajexia connect the TJ2-MC64 to Trajexia Studio software.
Open the terminal window and type PRINT VERSION in the terminal window.
Refer to the Trajexia Programming manual (I58E-EN) for more information.
