Connection
In order to connect drive controllers of the SC6 and SI6 series to other EtherCAT nodes, the top of each device features two
RJ-45 sockets.
5.1
Selecting suitable lines
EtherCAT is an Ethernet-based communications technology optimized for automation technology.
Ethernet patch cables or crossover cables meeting the CAT 5e quality level are the ideal cables. The Fast Ethernet
technology allows a maximum cable length of 100 m between two nodes.
Information
Ensure that you only use shielded cables with an SF/FTP, S/FTP or SF/UTP design.
5.2
X200, X201: Fieldbus connection
The drive controllers have both RJ-45 sockets X200 and X201. The sockets are located on top of the device. The associated
pin assignment and color coding correspond to the EIA/TIA-T568B standard.
