Chapter 1 Overview
(3) Connection with the servo driver through EtherCAT
*1
(a) Direct connection to servo drives of up to 32 units and EtherCAT I/O of up to 64 units can be achieved
through EtherCAT.
(b) Since the connection between motion control module and servo drive is made using Ethernet cables. So
wiring is simple.
(c) You can easily check and set up the servo driver information and parameter at the Motion Control module
(d) Max. connection distance is 100m.
(4) Able to realize the absolute position system
You can realize the absolute position system just by connecting to the servo drive using the absolute position
encoder and in case of ON/OFF, it can know the current position of the motor without homing.
(5) Easy maintenance
As retain registers, parameters, cam data and location data are stored within the motion controller, data can be
stored without delay, and there is no limited number of writes.
(6) Self-diagnosis, monitoring and test are available with strong software package, XG5000.
(a) Monitoring function (Module & Servo driver)
(b) Trace function
(c) Trend function
(d) Reading and saving module program/parameter
(e) Reading and saving servo parameter
(f) Creation of CAM data
(g) Providing details about errors and the solution for it
(h) Print function of various forms
EtherCAT, Open Industrial Ethernet Solution, is developed by Beckhoff at 2002 and at 2003, November EtherCAT
Technology Group (ETG-http://www.ethercat.org) is organized and it opens its technology. At 2005, February, that is
authorized as IEC standard specification. Because of fast control speed and easiness for use and maintenance, it is
widely used in the industrial field and conforming its performance
In our positioning module, data communication with service driver is done with master-slave method through
EtherCAT, and electric Ethernet Cable is used.
