2 communication interfaces RJ45 (ETHCAT1 and ETHCAT2)
1.3.5.1.1 Intended Purpose
Communication module CM579-ETHCAT is for EtherCAT communication.
The comunication module is configured via the dual-port memory by means of a system config-
urator. The configuration is saved in a non-volatile way on a flash EPROM.
1.3.5.1.2 Electrical Connection
Field Bus Interfaces
The EtherCAT communication module provides 2 RJ45 interfaces with the following pin assign-
ment. The pin assignment is used for the EtherCAT slaves (communication interface modules
CI5xy-ETHCAT) as well.
