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.
