System 350 | 3 608 878 300/2019-03
IMecat IMecat is supported as of version V2.500 of the Rexroth Tightening System 350:
This parameter dialog consists of two index cards that can be selected in the Set up EtherCat interface
group:
• I/O and data
• Device information
Index card: I/O and data
No settings can be made in the Configured ranges field: The grayed out fields cannot be edited. The
parameters displayed in this field depend on the selected number of I/O points.
Index card: Device information
In this index card, the Device ID can be set.
Create description file button
A participant profile in form of a description file (*.xml) is required to commission the IMecat interface
module. The description file enables the software to recognize the variable parameters and their value
ranges.
Click Create description file to generate a description file. Save the file and import it into the field
bus configurator.
Click Accept to transfer the data to the configuration for the tightening channel in the BS350.
Type B interfaces (B1 and B2)
This interface is intended for inserting type B interface modules from Rexroth:
• IM24V for reading 24 V I/O signals in and out (e.g. for actuating lamps and buttons).
Open the associated parameter dialog by double clicking the parameter field in line B1 or B2 (see Figure
7–28).
In the Code list, select the desired module from the drop-down list and set its parameters.

Element Description
Number of I points Number of control signals to be processed via the EtherCat interface. Value range
16 to 512 input signals (2 to 64 bytes)
Number of O points Number of control signals to be processed via the EtherCat interface. Value range
16 to 512 output signals (2 to 64 bytes)
Receive data Memory location for receiving the ID code, max. 252 bytes at 2 bytes for I points
Send data Memory location for sending results, max. 252 bytes at 2 bytes for O points
Receive IL data Memory location for receiving IL data, max. 252 bytes at 2 bytes for I points
These data are processed using the IL function block ControlFieldbus.
