EtherCAT Connectors
...
The EtherCAT
...
ports use standard Ethernet RJ45 CAT5e, M8-A or M8-D connectors depending on the motor variant.
...
They are labeled IN and OUT as per the EtherCAT standard.
Connector Options
RJ45
- Amphenol - RJHSE538B02
M8-A Female
- TE Connectivity - T4041017041-000
- M8-D Female
Pinout
RJ45(1) | M8-A | M8-D | |
---|---|---|---|
Tx+ | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Rx+ | 3 | 2 | 2 |
Rx- | 6 | 3 | 4 |
Tx- | 2 | 4 | 3 |
(1) Pins 4,5,7 and 8 are connected to GND.
Example Cables
All ethernet cables are standard pinouts and are available from a variety of online suppliers or cable houses. Here are a few example cables from the Phoenix Contact NBC series

Power Connector
The power connector supplies 24V to the EtherCAT slave and the motor separately. These two can be tied together so both are off the same power supply.

Motor connector | 09 0081 20 04 | Binder |
Female cable side mating connector | 99 0080 102 04 | Binder |
4m power cable | CM1M9-4F-4000 | Myostat |
- The CM1M9-4F-4000 is 24AWG with conductor resistance of 97.5Ω/km
- The HF version with EXT-3D cable has a resistance of 91.1Ω/km

Colors indicated are for the standard CM1M9-4F-4000 power cable.
- NOTE: There is no reverse polarity protection. Ensure the 24V power is connected correctly before powering the unit.
- REVC Hardware
- Maintaining EtherCAT power and dropping motor power will not retain motor position as the the current position is evaluated on the motor controller.
- REVD Hardware
- Maintaining EtherCAT power and dropping switching off motor drive power will
- retain motor position
- remove any ability for the motor to be driven (as power to the motor drive has been removed).
I/O Connector
- Connecting a digital input to GND will produce a logical high on the device.
- All digital inputs can be monitored by the EtherCAT master.
- Inputs 2 and 3 are also connected to the motor controller. This allows them to function as inputs for embedded home routines as well as any standard CML programming when in CML mode
- The analog input is referenced by the motor and available in CML mode
- Output 1 is controller by the EtherCAT slave controller. It is switched on and off by the EtherCAT master
- Output 2 can be programmed as a standard motor output and cannot be controller directly by the EtherCAT master.

USB Connection
The USB connector is a standard micro USB and is used to update the EtherCAT firmware. When it is plugged into a computer it will create a virtual serial port.
