Instruction Manual
Fieldbus device - SI unit for EtherCAT
EX260-SEC1 / SEC2 / SEC3 / SEC4
The intended use of this product is to control pneumatic valves and I/O
while connected to the EtherCAT protocol.
1 Safety Instructions
These safety instructions are intended to prevent hazardous situations
and/or equipment damage. These instructions indicate the level of
potential hazard with the labels of “Caution,” “Warning” or “Danger.”
They are all important notes for safety and must be followed in addition
to International Standards (ISO/IEC)*1), and other safety regulations.
*1) ISO 4414: Pneumatic fluid power - General rules relating to systems.
ISO 4413: Hydraulic fluid power - General rules relating to systems.
IEC 60204-1: Safety of machinery - Electrical equipment of machines.
(Part 1: General requirements)
ISO 10218-1: Manipulating industrial robots -Safety. etc.
•Refer to product catalogue, Operation Manual and Handling
Precautions for SMC Products for additional information.
•Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
Caution indicates a hazard with a low level of risk which, if
not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
Warning indicates a hazard with a medium level of risk
which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
Danger indicates a hazard with a high level of risk which, if
not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
Warning
•Always ensure compliance with relevant safety laws and
standards.
•All work must be carried out in a safe manner by a qualified person in
compliance with applicable national regulations.
Caution
•Provide grounding to assure the safety and noise resistance of
the Fieldbus system.
Individual grounding should be provided close to the product using a
short cable.
•When conformity to UL is required the SI unit must be used with
a UL1310 Class 2 power supply.

4 Installation
4.1 Installation Warning
•Do not install the product unless the safety instructions have been
read and understood.
•General instructions on installation and maintenance
Connect the valve manifold to the SI unit.
•Assembly and disassembly of the SI unit
4.2 Replacement of the SI unit
•Remove the M3 hexagon screws from the SI unit and release the SI
unit from the valve manifold.
•Replace the SI unit.
•Tighten the screws with the specified tightening torque. (0.6 N•m)
4 Installation (continued)
4.3 Assembly Precautions
•Be sure to switch off the power.
•Check there is no foreign matter inside the SI unit.
•Check there is no damage and no foreign matter stuck to the gasket.
•Be sure to tighten the screws with the specified torque.
•If the SI unit is not assembled properly, the internal PCBs may be
damaged or liquid and/or dust may enter into the unit.
4.4 Connecting Cables
Select the appropriate cables to mate with the connectors mounted on
the SI unit.
○Fieldbus interface connector layout
-pin socket, D-coded (SPEEDCON)
: M12 4-pin socket, D-coded (SPEEDCON)
○Power supply connector layout
M12 5-pin plug, A-coded (SPEEDCON)
+24 V for SI unit operation
0 V for SI unit operation
•The power supply for the solenoid valve and SI unit operation are
isolated. Be sure to supply power respectively.
Either single source power or two different power supplies can be
used.
NOTE
When conformity to UL is required the SI unit must be used with a
UL1310 Class 2 power supply.
The M12 connector cable for fieldbus and power supply connections
has two types, Standard M12 and SPEEDCON compatible. If both
plug and socket have SPEEDCON connectors, the cable can be
inserted and connected by turning it a 1/2 of a rotation, leading to a
reduction in man hours.
A standard connector can be connected to a SPEEDCON connector.
Warning
•Be sure to fit a seal cap (EX9-AWTS) on any unused connectors.
Proper use of the seal cap enables the enclosure to maintain IP67
specification.
4.5 Ground Terminal
•Connect the ground terminal to ground.
•Individual grounding should be provided close to the product with a
short cable to assure the safety and noise resistance of the Fieldbus
system.
•Resistance to ground should be 100 ohms or less.
4.6 Environment Warning
•Do not use in an environment where corrosive gases, chemicals, salt
water or steam are present.
•Do not install in a location subject to vibration or impact in excess of
the product’s specifications.
