5 EtherCAT Communications
5-16
G5 Series AC Servo Drives With Built-in EtherCAT Communications, Linear Motor Type
Node Address Switch Setting
The value set on the node address switches is the node address.
Serial Number Display
The serial number saved in the nonvolatile memory of the G5-series Servo Drive is displayed in the
Serial Number (1018-04 hex). Controllers that support Sysmac Device Features can use this serial
number to check the network configuration.
To enable this check, in Sysmac Studio, set [Serial No. Check Condition] to [Set Value = Actual Unit]
on the [EtherCAT Edit] screen.
If the set condition is not met, a Network Configuration Check Error will occur.
Additional Information
This network configuration check detects any slave devices that have been replaced, which
prevents you from forgetting to set parameters on those slaves.
Compliance with ESI Specification (ETG.2000 S (R) V1.0.1)
The ESI Specification is a set of specifications that define the entries required in an EtherCAT Slave
Information (ESI) file.
Controllers that support Sysmac Device Features can use the Option function defined in the ESI
Specification to identify the backup parameters stored on slaves.
The backup parameters on an identified slave can be backed up and restored from Sysmac Studio.
For the parameters backed up with the G5-series Servo Drive, refer to

SII
(1) The Node Address Switch is set at power OFF.
(2) The value of Node Address Switch is applied to
Register: 0012 hex, when the slave power is ON.
(3) EtherCAT master reads the set value of
Register: 0012 hex.
(4) EtherCAT master writes the value of 0012 hex
address to 0010 hex address as the node
address value.
