Note

Both network connectors have the same pinout, thanks to auto-negotiation there is no need to make crossed cables. I.e. TX+ of one device can be connected to the TX+ of another. Note that port 0 should be used as EtherCAT IN and port 1 as EtherCAT OUT.

The safety signals are bypassed between connectors P3 and P4 to facilitate the daisy chain connection of communications and safety signals.  Find more information in the Communications section of the Denali XCR Product Manual.

Part number

Molex 5013300600

Common mating terminals and cables for all signal connectors

All signal connectors are of the Molex Pico-Clasp™ family. All share the same crimp terminals and jumper wires. Given the small size of the connectors, crimping must be done with appropriate tools and application guides provided by Molex. Otherwise, it is strongly recommended to buy pre-crimped jumper wires and connect them to your system using split (or butt) terminals.  Spiral wraps are recommended to order and protect the thin wires and make tidy, elegant wiring.
