Common Installation & Operation Issues
Controller fails to communicate with slave stations after installation?
Check wiring and use CAT5e/CAT6 full-duplex cables. Confirm slave station addresses and enable auto-scan mode for automatic address assignment.
Controller freezes in industrial environment?
Move controller 1 meter from high-power devices. Use shielded EtherCAT cables with proper grounding and ensure stable power supply within 20.4–28.8V DC.
Can expansion modules be hot-swapped?
Yes, expansion modules support hot-swapping. Set module to "maintenance mode" before swapping. Main controller cannot be removed while powered on.
