connect the encoder
Step 1
connect Port 1 to your ethercat master or ethercat coupler using a
M12x1, 4-pin, D-coded male to RJ-45 cable.
Step 2
connect the power cable using a M12x1, 4-pin, a-coded female
connector.
Step 3
(Optional) connect Port 2 to another ethercat device in your network
using a M12x1, 4-pin, D-coded male connector to another ethercat
slave device or ethernet switch.
Step 4
Refer to procedure on the reverse side for communication with the
ethercat encoder.
This technical bulletin will give you step-by-step instructions to get started with EPC’s Model A58E series of EtherCAT-ready absolute encoders. You will
learn how connect the encoder, how to navigate to the encoder’s web page, and how to change the encoder IP address, subnet mask, and gateway
address. For more information, see the
EtherCAT Interface Technical Reference Manual
