Safety Considerations 13

Cautions during Use
1. Follow instructions in ‘Cautions during Use’. Otherwise, It may cause unexpected accidents.
2. BUS power and I/O power should be insulated by the individually insulated power device.
3. Power supply should be insulated and limited voltage/current or Class 2, SELV power supply device.
4. Use the rated standard cables and connectors. Do not apply excessive power when connecting or
disconnecting the connectors of the product.
5. Keep away from high voltage lines or power lines to prevent inductive noise.
In case installing power line and input signal line closely, use line filter or varistor at power line and
shielded wire at input signal line. For stable operation, use shield wire and ferrite core, when wiring
communication wire, power wire, or signal wire.
6. Do not use near the equipment which generates strong magnetic force or high frequency noise.
7. Do not touch the module communication connector part of the base.
8. Do not connect, or remove the base while connected to a power source.
9. For removing the terminal, body or base, do not operate units for a long time without it.
10. This unit may be used in the following environments.
① Indoors (in the environment condition rated in ‘Specifications’)
② Altitude max. 2,000 m
③ Pollution degree 2
④ Installation category II

2. Overview of the ARIO-C-EC
2.1. EtherCAT Protocol
The EtherCAT protocol, designed based on the Fieldbus system, supports low-latency control, high
flexibility in the topology, and user-friendly environment settings. The data is interpreted and copied
at all connected devices without receiving Ethernet packets under the EtherCAT network.
And the EtherCAT slave reads the received data while the frame has transmitted to the node.
The ARIO-C-EC supports the EtherCAT protocol. This coupler composes the physical structure of
connected modules and devices and creates input and output process images linked with the data of
EtherCAT. The process images make it possible to experience a flexible installation environment,
such as the mixed arrangement of analog and digital modules.
2.1. EtherCAT Protocol 17

2.2. Unit Descriptions
1. EtherCAT Communication Connectors It is a connector to connect with EtherCAT
Master such as PLC.
For detailed information on the communication
cable, refer to the 2.3, “EtherCAT
Communication Connector”.
2. CONFIG Port It is a port to connect to the PC where
DAQMaster is installed.
1. Port type: USB Type-B Micro
3. Indicators It displays the status of the coupler and
communication connection as shown below.
For detailed information on the indicators,
refer to the 3, Indicators.
1. Power and operating status of the coupler
2. EtherCAT communication status
18 Autonics | ARIO-C-EC

4. Power Supply Terminal It is a terminal block that supplies power to the
coupler and peripherals.
For detailed information on the device supply,
refer to the 2.4, “Connections of the Power
Terminal”.
5. Power Supply Contacts It is a contact that feeds the power input from
the power supply terminal.
1. Top input contacts: feed the power supply for
the coupler, module, and ABUS to be
operated.
2. Bottom input contacts: feed the power supply
for input and output signals of the connected
module.
2.2. Unit Descriptions 19

2.3. EtherCAT Communication Connector
