Setting the EtherCAT® ID
It is not strictly necessary to set one of the EtherCAT® IDs. The slaves are automatically addressed by the master by default. The EtherCAT® ID must only be set on the inverter if the use of EtherCAT® IDs has been preset in the hardware configuration of the master.
An EtherCAT® ID can be permanently assigned to the inverter with the EtherCAT® interface using hexadecimal switches S1 and S2. With these switches, you can set a decimal EtherCAT® ID between 1 and 255 in hexadecimal notation.
This ID serves as a unique identification tag of the respective EtherCAT® slave for the EtherCAT® master. The EtherCAT® ID is not an EtherCAT® address. The EtherCAT® ID is always assigned by the EtherCAT® master.
In the delivery state of the inverter, the ID is set to 0 by default (S1 = 0 and S2 = 0).
Required ID, decimal | ID, hexadecimal | Setting S1 (× 10) | Setting S2 (× 1) |
|---|---|---|---|
3 | 03 | 0 | 3 |
18 | 12 | 1 | 2 |
25 | 19 | 1 | 9 |
100 | 64 | 6 | 4 |
110 | 6E | 6 | E |
255 | FF | F | F |
S1 EtherCAT® ID (× 10) |
| 6 |
S2 EtherCAT® ID (× 1) |
| E |
The EtherCAT® ID "110" is set as an example in the illustration above.
