(Note 1)[Station aliases can be set between 00 and FF]2 Station ID (x1)3 IN RJ45 connector for EtherCAT connection. This connector connects the master de-vice and the Ethernet cable.4 OUT RJ45 connector for EtherCAT connection. This connector connects the slave de-vice and the Ethernet cable.5 Male connector for lateralconnectionThis connector connects a controller (master unit or slave unit). Electric power re-quired for the communication unit is supplied from the master unit or slave unitthrough this connector.6 ERR. indicator (Red)This indicator indicates the state of communication between the communicationunit and the controller connected to it.OFF : Normal operation stateON: Communication error occurs between the communication unit and the controller7 POWER indicator (Green) OFF : The power is offON : The power is on8 RUN indicator (Green)OFF : INIT stateFlashing (Single flash (Note 2)) : SAFE-OPERATIONAL stateFlashing (Blinking (Note 3)) : PRE-OPERATIONAL stateON : OPERATIONAL state9 L/A IN indicator (Green) OFF : The communication unit is not connected to the EthernetFlashing : Link is normal and data is sent or receivedON : Link is normal and data is not sent or received10 L/A OUT indicator (Green)11 ECAT ERR indicator (Red)OFF : Normal operation stateFlashing (Double flash (Note 4)) : Watchdog timeout occursFlashing (Blinking (Note 3)) : Configuration error occursNotes: 1) For numerical display on the switch, refer to each switch.2) The indicator repeatedly lights for 0.2 seconds and goes out for 1 second.3) The indicator repeatedly lights for 0.2 seconds and goes out for 0.2 seconds.4) The indicator repeatedly lights for 0.2 seconds, goes out for 0.2 seconds, lights up for 0.2 seconds, and goesout for 1 second in this order.5 MOUNTING AND CONNECTION METHODSHow to mount1. Hook the rear of the mounting part ontothe 35-mm-wide DIN rail.2. While pressing the rear of the mountingpart against the 35-mm-wide DIN rail,insert the front of the mounting part intothe 35-mm-wide DIN rail.2. Press down 1. Insert35-mm-wide DIN railHow to remove1. Grasp the unit and push it forward.2. Lifting the front of the unit removes itfrom the DIN rail. 2. Lift1. Push forwardNote: If you attempt to lift the front without pushing the unit forward, you will break the hook on the rear of the mountingpart.How to connect● This product must be connected to a controller.● Up to 15 controllers (1 master unit and 14 slave units) can be connected to thisproduct.● Always turn OFF the power before connecting or disconnecting a controller to/from this product. Connecting a controller to this product with the power turnedON may damage the product and controller.Insert the male connector all the way into the female connector. If the connectoris not connected completely, the product and controller may become damaged.● To connect this product to a controller, always mount them on a DIN rail. To doso, mount end plates MS-DIN-E (optional) or commercially available fittings soas to enclose the connected units at both ends.● For notes on using controllers, refer to the instruction manual provided with thecontroller.● When the HG-S controller and HG-T controller are used in combination, note thefollowing points.• Connect the slave units of the same series to the side closer to the masterunit, and connect the slave units of the different series to the far side.• Some functions such as computation function and copy function are restricted.For detailed information, refer to the user’s manual of each controller(ourWebsite: https://panasonic.net/id/pidsx/global ).• If the HG-T controller is connected with HG-S controller manufactured prior toJanuary 2019, it will not operate properly. Be sure to connect the product toHG-S controller manufactured in or after February 2019.
