General layout
- EtherCAT Bus Coupler
- Additional modules connected on the right side
- DI
- DO
- AI
- AO
- Retentive Memory
- Laser THC and Raster Module
- IO-Link interface
- Each module of 108x80x18, DIN rail mounted
- Connector plane sloping down to ease cable fitting
- Grounding from back of each module, directly from DIN rail
Internal Bus
- Dual speed bus, devices can mix in any order:
- Up to 380 I/Os in the same Bus Coupler
- A slower connection for simpler devices, 1-5ms data refresh,
- depending on quantity of modules connected
- A faster connection compatible with EtherCAT:
- No compromise on speed
- Used for most complex modules
Configuration
- Multi-Sync supported
- Servos exchange data at fastest rate
- I/O can run in a slower sub-network
- Synchronization guaranteed anyway
- EtherCAT SLOT interfaces
- ESI file describes Bus Coupler and all I/O modules
- Auto-identification of connected modules at SCAN time
