If using a non-MOONS’ motor, please refer to your motor specs for wiring information.
2.7 Connecting the EtherCAT
Dual RJ-45 connectors accept standard Ethernet cables and are categorized as 100BASE-TX
(100 Mb/sec) ports. CAT5 or CAT5e (or higher) cables should be used. The IN port connects to a
master, or to the OUT port of an upstream node. The OUT port connects to a downstream node.
If the drive is the last node on a network, only the IN port is used. No terminator is required on the
OUT port.
2.7.1 EtherCAT Status Indicator LEDs
The LEDs are used for indicating status of the EtherCAT. STF05/10-EC have two Link/Activity
LEDs (one for each RJ-45 Ethernet connector) and two status LEDs (RUN and ERR). STF03/06-
EC’s four EtherCAT indicator LEDs are above the connector J3.
