Manual – ECC-DFC field bus controller
3.3. Characteristics of the ECC-DFC fieldbus controller
During the installation and configuration of one or more ECC-DFC module(s), a
range of operating characteristics and configurable properties of the ECC-DFC
fieldbus controller are available, which are accessible via the ECShell engineer-
ing software. Some of these properties are:
Simple, ram-pressure-free zone-to-zone control as default mode
Optional configuration for train release and gap train release modes
Automatic logic for detecting and processing load sizes that exceed the length of a
physical zone
Optional configuration for “Look Ahead Slow Down” mode for applications with faster
speeds
Capability of bridging separate Ethernet network sections for smooth operation
Possibility of using an ECC-DFC as an extension of another ECC-DFC so that it acts
as a simple motor controller
