5.3 Ethernet Physical Layer Connection
TMC8462 comes with two integrated 100-Mbit Ethernet PHYs eliminating the need for external PHY
components. The physical media interface can connect to (shielded) twisted pair copper buses ((S)TPC).
Port signals with index 0 represent the EtherCAT IN port. Port signals with index 1 represent the EtherCAT
OUT port.
