EC6 communication module
The drive controllers of the SD6 series are connected to each other and to the EtherCAT master using the EC6
communication module, which offers the necessary fieldbus interfaces.
The communication modules match the EtherCAT standard and make it possible for the master to access all relevant drive
parameters and functions cyclically and acyclically.

Installation
Installation work is permitted only when no voltage is present. Observe the five safety rules.
Note the minimum clearances listed in the technical data during installation in order to prevent the drive controller from
overheating.
Protect the device against falling parts (bits or strands of wire, pieces of metal, etc.) during installation or other work in the
control cabinet. Parts with conductive properties may result in a short circuit or failure inside the drive controller.
Remove the additional covers before commissioning so that the drive controller does not overheat.
DANGER!
Electrical voltage! Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock!
▪
Always switch off all power supply voltage before working on the devices!
▪
Note the discharge time of the DC link capacitors in the general technical data. You can only determine the absence
of voltage after this time period.
ATTENTION!
Damage to property due to electrostatic discharge!
Take appropriate measures when handling exposed circuit boards, e.g. wearing ESD-safe clothing.
Do not touch contact surfaces.
Installing the EC6 communication module
EC6 is installed in the upper slot of the drive controller.
Tools and material
You will need:
§
A TORX screwdriver TX10
§
The cover and screws included with the communication module
Installation
1.
Unscrew the fastening screw of the dummy cover on top of the drive controller and remove the cover.
2.
Slide the communication module on the guide rails into the drive controller.
3.
Press on the module in order to push the pin contacts into the box header.
4.
Set the tabs of the cover included with the communication module in front in the notch at an angle.
5.
Place the cover on the drive controller so that the tabs lie under the edge.
6.
Attach the cover using both screws.
