Setting the rotary switches
As the EtherCAT
®
devices are multiprotocol devices, it’s required to set the
X100 rotary switch in front of the module to position EC for the EtherCAT
protocol. After the power supply is restored, the modules read the switch
settings.
The X10 and X1 rotary switches are not used for EtherCAT
®
.
Only the address setting 979 is used for a factory reset of the device.
Using the rotary encoding switches, the following settings are possible for
LioN-P EtherCAT
®
modules:
For additional multiprotocol information refer the manual

Rotary switch setting
Function
000
(state on delivery)
X100 = 0, Ethernet/IP
In the state on delivery, the DHCP and BOOTP functions are
activated. The network parameters are initially requested via
DHCP requests. If this is not successful, BOOTP requests are
used. The network parameters are not saved, but the integrated
web server can be used to save them.
000
(network parameters
already saved)
X100 = 0, Ethernet/IP
The network parameters last saved are used (IP address, subnet
mask, gateway address, DHCP on/off, BOOTP on/off).
4xx
(EC-x-x)
The EtherCAT protocol will be started after power-up, if no other
protocol setting is stored in the non volatile memory of the module.
(state on delivery)
If the device was used for another protocol before, a factory reset
is required before the EtherCAT protocol can be used.
979
The device performs a reset to the factory settings. The network
parameters are also reset to the default values. Communication is
not possible in this operation mode.
