4.2 Wiring the Power Inputs
The 4-contact terminal block connector on the top panel of Industrial EtherCAT slave I/O module is used for one DC power input. Please follow the steps below to insert the power wire.

When performing any of the procedures like inserting the wires or tightening the wire-clamp screws, make sure the power is OFF to prevent from getting an electric shock.
1. Insert positive and negative DC power wires into contacts 1 and 2 for POWER.

6. Getting Started
This chapter provides a basic overview of how to configure and operate your IECJ series.

6.1 Connecting the Power and the Host PC

Step 1:

Connect both the Port 1 of the IECJ series and RJ45 Ethernet port of Host PC. Ensure that the network settings on the Host PC have been correctly configured and are functioning normally. Ensure that the Windows firewall and any anti-virus firewall are properly configured to allow incoming connections; if not, temporarily disable these functions.

Attaching an ESC (EtherCAT Slave Controller) directly to an office network will result in network flooding, since the ESC will reflect any frame ­ especially broadcast frames ­ back into the network (broadcast storm).

Step 2: Apply power to the IECJ series (Take the IECJ-300 for an example)

Connect the Host device to the IN Port on IECJ-300

6.2 Configuration and Operation
Beckhoff TwinCAT 3.x is the most commonly used EtherCAT Master software to operate the IECJ series. Click on the link below to download Beckhoff TwinCAT 3.x: https://www.beckhoff.com/en-en/support/download-finder/software-and-tools/
Inserting into the EtherCAT network Installation of the latest XML device description (ESI). Make sure to use the latest installation description to install the latest XML device. This can be downloaded from PLANET website (https://www.planet.com.tw/en/support/downloads?&m ethod=keyword&keyword=IECJ) and check the online FAQs for the installation of the XML device.
16

Step 1: Automatic Scanning z The EtherCAT system must be in the safe, de-energized state before the
IECJ series module is connected to EtherCAT network. z Switch on the operating voltage, open the TwinCAT System Managed (Config
mode), and scan the devices as shown in the print screen instructions below. Acknowledge all dialogs with “OK”, so that the configuration is in the “FreeRun” mode.
Step 2: Configuration via TwinCAT In the left-hand window of the TwinCAT System Manager, click on the brand of the EtherCAT Box you wish to configure (Take the IECJ-300 for an example). Click Box 1 to get and configure state.
