the Advantech website at http://www.advantech.com.

Every EtherCAT SubDevice information (ESI) le con-

tains the conguration data of an EtherCAT SubDevice

module. Various EtherCAT communication settings can

be dened from the ESI les of connected SubDevice

units as well the network connection information. ESI

les are saved to the conguration tool to provide net-

work conguration data. Subsequently, the network

conguration data can be downloaded to the EtherCAT

MainDevice unit for conguring an EtherCAT network.

Industrial EtherCAT SubDevice Modules

Startup Manual

The AMAX-4817/4820 series comprises industrial EtherCAT

SubDevice modules equipped with the EtherCAT protocol.

The modules’ compact size and integrated DIN rail mount

kit ensure easy installation in cabinets. The modules also

feature euro-type pluggable terminal blocks and LED in-

dicators that facilitate system setup and maintenance. All

modules are equipped with an isolation circuit that ensures

current protection for demanding industrial applications.

FCCClassA

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with

the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of

the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide rea-

sonable protection against harmful interference when the

equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This

equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency

energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the

instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio

communications. Operation of this equipment in residential

areas is likely to cause interference; in such cases, users

are required to correct the interference at their own expense.

This product has passed the CE test for environmen-

tal specications when shielded cables are used for

external wiring. We recommend the use of shield-

ed cables. Advantech does provide shielded cables.

Contact your local supplier for ordering information.

AMAX-4817/4820 modules use two hexadecimal rotary

switches to represent the SubDevice ID (range: 0 ~ 255).

For example, if a user arranges the rotary switches follow-

ing the sequence “4, F”, the SubDevice ID will be set as “4

x 16 + F x 1= 79”.

AMAX-4817/4820 modules feature two power input terminals,

an input power range of +10 to +30 VDC, and power redundan-

cy support. For modules connected to two power input sourc-

es, if one source is inactive or interrupted, the other power

source can take over immediately. The AMAX-4817/4820

modules can operate with only a single power source.

AnalogOutput(AMAX-4820)
