Motion Bus Interface (X10/X11)

The motion bus interface has RJ45 connectors and can be used for communication with the EtherCAT master and other MKD-C.

Do not connect the Ethernet line for the PC or PAC via WorkBench to the motion bus interface X10/X11. The setup Ethernet cable must be connected to X18.

The communication status is indicated by the built-in connector LEDs.
