1.1 Before you start
Before operating this product, read the safety instructions in the following manuals:
•“SX-DSV03514, MINAS A6 Multi, Technical Reference – Integrated Safety Part”
•“SX-DSV03508, MINAS A6 Multi, Programming Manual – PANATERM for Safety”
This product is for industrial use only.
Electrical connections must be made by qualified electrical personnel.
1.2 About this document
This “Quick Start Guide” is intended to help you set up a MINAS A6 Multi servo drive
system. It is based on information from the MINAS A6 Multi series manuals and the practical
experience of our engineers.
Step-by-step instructions will guide you through connecting a TRIO MC6N-ECAT host
controller to a MINAS A6 Multi servo drive system. You will also learn how to program a
simple positioning task in TRIO's Motion Perfect software. Communication is achieved using
EtherCAT.
In these instructions we assume that you are using a Windows 10 operating system.
Please refer to the original documentation of our servo drive systems for detailed
information. It is available free of charge in our Panasonic Download Center.

2 Functional overview
2 Functional overview
A Panasonic MINAS A6 Multi servo drive system includes a power supply module, one
or more 400V driver modules, and one or two motors connected to each driver module.
Communication can be achieved through EtherCAT with any host controller that supports the
CAN application protocol over EtherCAT (CoE).
Example
A servo drive system, consisting of a 15kW power supply module, an A-size 1.5kW two-axis
driver module, and two servo motors with a rated power of 1.0kW and 1.5kW, is connected
to a TRIO MC6N-ECAT host controller by an Ethernet cable to communicate via EtherCAT.
Use the following accessories:
• 1 x 400V AC power supply cable
Connects the MINAS A6 Multi power supply module to the main power supply (400V AC).
• 1 x 24V DC power supply cable
Connects the power supply unit (24V DC) and the host controller.
• 1 x grounding wire (M4 round terminal)
Connects the PE terminals of the power supply module and the driver module.
• 2 x Panasonic motor cable
Connects the motor and the driver module.
• 2 x Panasonic encoder cable
Connects the encoder and the driver module.
• 1 x Ethernet cable
Connects the PC and the host controller.
• 1 x Ethernet cable (used for EtherCAT communication)
Connects the host controller and the driver module.
• 1 x RJ11 communication cable (2 x RJ11 plug)
Connects the power supply module and the driver module.
• 1 x feed bus bar (50mm) with end cap for the DC link bus (535V DC to 675V DC)
Connects the power supply module and the driver module.
• 1 x feed bus bar (50mm) with end cap for the control bus (24V DC)
Connects the power supply module and the driver module.

3.1 Recommendations for wiring
It is the customer's responsibility to apply the countermeasures that they consider necessary
to comply with current regulations on wiring, safety and reducing EMI.
Do not forget to meet the specifications indicated in the hardware manual for each of the
devices being wired. If any specifications in the manual conflict with the information in this
document, the manufacturer's manual takes preference.
For detailed information on reducing EMI, please refer to “Recommendations for EMC-
compliant wiring of servo drivers and motors”.
