4.3 Wiring the Power Inputs
The 3-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.
Note
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.
V1+ PWR GND
DC Input: 9-48V , 0.5A max.
2. Tighten the wire-clamp screws for preventing the wires from loosening.

5. Installation
This section describes the functionalities of the Industrial EtherCAT slave I/O module’s components and guides you to installing it on the DIN rail and wall. Please read this chapter completely before continuing.
Note
In the installation steps below, this manual uses PLANET IGS-801 8-port Industrial Gigabit Switch as an example. The steps for PLANET Industrial Slim-type Switch, Industrial Media/Serial Converter and Industrial PoE devices are similar.
5.1 DIN-rail Mounting Installation
Refer to the following steps to install the Industrial EtherCAT Slave I/O Module on the DIN rail.
Step 1: The DIN-rail bracket is already screwed on the module as shown in the red circle.
13
Step 2: Lightly insert the bottom of the module into the track.
1 2
Step 3: Make sure the bracket is tightly secured on the DIN-rail track.
Step 4: To remove the module from the track, lightly pull out its bottom.

5.2 Wall-mount Plate Mounting
To install the Industrial EtherCAT slave I/O module on the wall, follow the instructions described below. Step 1: Remove the DIN-rail bracket from the Industrial EtherCAT
slave I/O module by loosening the screws. Step 2: Screw one piece of the wall-mount plate on one end of the
rear panel of the Industrial EtherCAT slave I/O module, and the other plate on the other end.
Step 3: And then screw the module on the wall to complete the installation.
Step 4: To remove the module from the wall, reverse the steps.
5.3 Side Wall-mount Plate Mounting
Caution
You must use the screws supplied with the wallmounting brackets. Damage caused to the parts by using incorrect screws would invalidate your warranty.

6. Getting Started
This chapter provides a basic overview of how to configure and operate your IECS-1116 series.
6.1 Connecting the Power and the Host PC
Step 1: Connect both the IN port of the IECS-1116 Module 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 is properly configured to allow incoming connections; if not, temporarily disable these functions.
Note
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 IECS-1116 module.
Connect the Host device to the IN Port on IECS-1116 module.

Inserting into the EtherCAT network
Note
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/faq?method=ke yword&keyword=IECS-1116) and check the online FAQs for the installation of the XML device.
Step 1: Automatic Scanning.
z The EtherCAT system must be in the safe, de-energized state before the IECS-1116 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.
Scanning the configuration (I/O Devices -> right-click -> Scan Devices…)
18
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 (IECS-1116-DI/IECS1116-DO in this example). Click Dix or Dox to get and configure state.
