2 Overview of the product
The NETC01-ECT is a communication converter between EtherCAT and RS-485 communication.
By converting the EtherCAT communication protocol of the upper level to the RS-485 communication protocol of the lower
level, Oriental Motor RS-485 communication compatible products can be operated via EtherCAT communication. The RS-485
communication protocol of the lower level is Oriental Motor's own RS-485 communication protocol.
Also, using a MEXE02 or accessory OPX-2A, the communication time can be monitored.
When the MEXE02 is used, a communication cable for data setting software CC05IF-USB (accessory) is needed to connect a PC
and NETC01-ECT. Be sure to purchase it.
The NETC01-ECT is operated as an I/O device on EtherCAT communication.
•For details about terms and explanations of EtherCAT communication, refer to the operating manual of the EtherCAT master
device.
•The NETC01-ECT is not compatible with the Distributed Clocks of the EtherCAT communication specications, so it cannot
perform synchronization control via EtherCAT communication.

the bottom of the NETC01-ECT to remove it from the rail.
Use force of about 10 to 20 N (2.2 to 4.5 lb.) to pull the DIN lever to lock
it. Excessive force may damage the DIN lever.
5-3 Installing and wiring in compliance with EMC Directive
Eective measures must be taken against the EMI that the NETC01-ECT may give to adjacent control-system equipment, as well as
the EMS of the NETC01-ECT itself, in order to prevent a serious functional impediment in the machinery. The use of the following
installation and wiring methods will enable the NETC01-ECT to be compliant with the EMC directive. Refer to "CE Marking" on p.7
for the applicable standards.
Oriental Motor conducts EMC measurements on the NETC01-ECT in accordance with "Example of installation and wiring for the
NETC01-ECT" on p.12. The user is responsible for ensuring the machine’s compliance with the EMC Directive, based on the installation
and wiring explained below.
Power supply
This network converter is a product of DC power supply input.
Use a DC power supply (switching power supply etc.) that conforms to the EMC Directive.
Noise lter
•Connect a noise lter to the input side of the DC power supply in order to prevent the noise generated in the NETC01-ECT from
propagating externally through the power supply line.
•When using a power supply transformer, be sure to connect a noise lter to the AC input side of the power supply transformer.
•For a noise lter, use HF2010A-UPF (SOSHIN ELECTRIC CO.,LTD), FN2070-10-06 (Schaner EMC) or equivalent product.
•Install the noise lter as close to the AC input terminal of DC power supply as possible. Use cable clamps and other means to
secure the AC input cables (AWG18: 0.75 mm2 or more) and output cables (AWG18: 0.75 mm2 or more) rmly to the surface of the
enclosure.
•Connect the ground terminal of the noise lter to the grounding point, using as thick and short a wire as possible.
•Do not place the AC input cable parallel with the noise lter output cable. Parallel placement will reduce noise lter eectiveness
if the enclosure's internal noise is directly coupled to the power supply cable by means of stray capacitance.
How to ground
The cable used to ground the NETC01-ECT and noise lter must be as thick and short as possible so that no potential dierence is
generated. Choose a large, thick and uniformly conductive surface for the grounding point.
Wiring the power supply cable and I/O signal cable
•Use a shielded cable of AWG22 (0.3 mm2) or more for the power supply cable of the NETC01-ECT, and keep it as short as
possible.
•To ground the power supply cable, use a metal cable clamp or similar device
that will maintain contact with the entire circumference of the cable. Attach
a cable clamp as close to the end of the cable as possible, and connect it as
shown in the gure.
Cable clamp
Shielded cable
Notes about installation and wiring
•Connect the NETC01-ECT and other peripheral control equipment directly to the grounding point so as to prevent a potential
dierence from developing between grounds.
•When relays or electromagnetic switches are used together with the system, use noise lters and CR circuits to suppress surges
generated by them.
•Keep cables as short as possible without coiling and bundling extra lengths.
•Place the power cables such as the power supply cables as far apart [100 to 200 mm (3.94 to 7.87 in.)] as possible from the signal
cables. If the power cables and signal cables have to cross, cross them at a right angle. Place the AC input cable and output cable
of a noise lter separately from each other.

The power supply connector (CN1), EtherCAT communication input port (ECAT IN), EtherCAT communication
output port (ECAT OUT), data edit connector (CN2) and RS-485 communication connector (CN6) of the
NETC01-ECT are not electrically insulated. When grounding the positive terminal of the power supply,
do not connect any equipment (PC, etc.) whose negative terminal is grounded. Doing so may cause the
NETC01-ECT and the equipment to short, damaging both.

STEP 2 Set the parameters and switches of the NETC01-ECT
Set the parameters and switches of the NETC01-ECT.
1. Turn on the power to the NETC01-ECT.
At this time, since parameters and switches are not set, the ALARM LED will be lit.
Move on the next procedure, and set parameters and switches.
2. Start the MEXE02 and set the parameters.
Select the NETC01-ECT.
3. Set the "Connection (axis #)" parameter of the driver connected to the NETC01-ECT to "Enable" using the MEXE02.
The initial value in the "Connection (axis #0)" parameter is set to "Enable." When the connected driver is 1 unit and the address
number of the driver is "0," it is not required to set the "Connection (axis #)" parameter.

×1: 1
SW1: 7
RS-485 transmission rate: 625 kbps
EtherCAT node address: 1
5. Turn o the NETC01-ECT power.
•When multiple drivers are connected, set connection parameters as many as the drivers.
•To activate the changed "Connection (address number)" parameter, cycling the power supply is required.
•For the SW1, always set to "7." If the switch is set to the dial of "8" or higher, the communication switch setting
error alarm will be generated when turning on the power. And do not set the switch to the dial of "0" to "6"
because they cannot be used. (An alarm will not be generated.)
STEP 3 Set the switches of the driver
Set the following with the switches of the driver. For the protocol, select "OFF" (network converter).
The status becomes as shown in the following gures after setting.

STEP 6 Were you able to operate the motor properly?
How did it go? Were you able to operate the motor properly? If the motor does not function, check the following points:
•Is an alarm generated in the driver or NETC01-ECT?
•Are the power supply, motor, and RS-485 communication cable connected securely?
•Are the protocol, address number, transmission rate and termination resistor set correctly?
•Is the "connection (address number)" parameter of the NETC01-ECT set correctly?
•Is the C-DAT LED of NETC01-ECT turned o? Or is the C-ERR LED lit in red? (A RS-485 communication error has been occurred.)
•Is the ERR LED of NETC01-ECT blinks in red? (An EtherCAT communication error has been occurred. _p.41)
•Is the L/A LED of NETC01-ECT turnde o? Or is it blinks in green? (An EtherCAT communication error has been occurred. _p.41)
Is the motor excited, or is the setting of the excitation method correct?
•Are the parameters of the driver set correctly?
•Is the operation stop signal input to the driver?
