5 GRT1-ECT Procedures
5 - 6 GRT1-series EtherCAT Communication Unit - Operation Manual
 OFF (during power up) = Automatic detection
The registered table is disabled and the Communication Unit will automatically detect the actual I/O
configuration and start communication.
 OFF to ON = Creating a New Registration Table
The SmartSlice I/O System’s actual I/O configuration can be read and registered in the table just by
turning DIP switch 1 (REGS) from OFF to ON while the EtherCAT Communication Unit’s power
supply is ON. If the registration table is being refreshed, the old registration table will be erased.
Reference
• Register the I/O configuration table when all of the SmartSlice I/O Units are communicating,
i.e., when the EtherCAT Communication Unit’s TS indicator is lit green.
• The configuration information records the order that the SmartSlice I/O Units are connected
and the I/O size (input or output, number of bits) of each SmartSlice I/O Unit. The I/O Unit
model numbers are not recorded.
The backup function records the parameter data of all SmartSlice I/O Units connected to the EtherCAT
Communication Unit. The parameter data recorded in the Communication Unit can be restored to the
SmartSlice I/O Units later with the automatic restore function when a SmartSlice I/O Unit has been
replaced.
