EtherCAT® and Safety over EtherCAT®

AKD2G drives (connectivity option E) can be connected as slaves to the EtherCAT® network (CoE) by using RJ45 connectors X11 (out port) and X12 (in port). The communication status is indicated by the built-in connector LEDs.

	Connector	Name	Function
	X11 "Out"	"ERR"	Returns potentials communication failures: Off = No Error Blinking = Invalid configuration Single Flash = Local error Double Flash = Process data watchdog
	X11 "Out"	Link/ Activity	On/Blinking: Physical link/Data Traffic on. Static off: No link.
	X12 "In"	"RUN"	Returns the device state: Off = INIT Blinking = PRE-OPERATIONAL Single Flash = SAFE-OPERATIONAL On = OPERATIONAL Flickering = Initialization or BOOTSTRAP
	X12 "In"	Link/ Activity	On/Blinking: Physical link/Data Traffic on. Static off: No link.

Bus topology example (EtherCAT®)

We suggest to use Kollmorgen ENCP cables.
