General Description

The use of EtherCAT Device identification is to identify an EtherCAT slave explicitly. This is necessary for the following use cases:

• Hot Connect applications 
  Within some applications it might be useful to connect or disconnect parts of the network. In this case the master must have the possibility to identify which part of the network is available.
• Prevention against cable swapping 
  If at least two identical devices are used in one application it might be necessary to prevent the mix-up of these devices by cable swapping. Example Scenario: Within a machining center there might be two identical drives to work in X and Y direction. To avoid that the drives receive wrong process data, for example after a device replacement, an explicit identification of the devices can be used.

The Device Identification value can be used optionally for unique addressing.

Rotary Selectors

The CM1-E uses 2 rotary selectors on the side of the motor to set the ID. These use hexadecimal values to set the range from 0-255. The values are set as follows

ID Range Usage

The following ID range is permissible
