EtherCAT communication (X4-IN and X5-OUT) are RJ45 terminals. The communication cable from the network master or controller should be connected to X4-IN and X5-OUT should be connected to the X4-IN terminal of the next Drive (or network device).
Cable Description
Use category 5 (CAT5e SF/UTP) Ethernet communications cables for network connections. Metal shielded connectors are recommended to prevent signal interference.
Depending on the robot model, the set of drives power range will be different.
