Connection to the Network
The connection to the EtherCAT IO is made via the two "RJ45 EtherCAT IN and OUT" sockets
on the underside of the interface module. The front socket is labeled "X3 IN," and the rear
socket is labeled "X4 OUT." Connect the device to the EtherCAT network to the interface
labeled "In" (cable from master) or "Out" (further cable to the next slave).
Pinout X3 IN & X4 OUT
Connecting the device to the controller
Plug the EtherCAT connector into the RJ45 socket. Use a data cable of at least Category 5.
