Connecting Communications Cables
Cable connections can be made freely in EtherCAT networks.
Connect the communications cable from the EtherCAT master to the input port on the first slave, and
then connect the communications cable to the next slave to the output port on the first slave.
Do not connect anything to the output port of the slave at the end of the network.
