EtherCAT Gateway

Tag names pre-assigned in samosPLAN5+ for the EtherCAT gateway
The data set 1 is divided into five input data blocks for clarity, whereby data blocks 1 to 5 each
contain 10 bytes.
Direct gateway output values
It is possible to write values directly from the logic editor to the gateway. These valuesare
freely programmable and are transferred to the EtherCAT network in the Transmit PDO. Four
bytes have been reserved for this purpose in the basic settings for data set 1; however, up to
the total number of 50 bytes of data set 1 may be configured as direct gateway output values.
You can obtain additional information at:
Direct gateway output values [ch. 3.3.1, p. 22]
Module state / input and output values
The samosPRO gateway can transmit the input and output states of all samosPRO modules
connected to the samosPRO system to the network. Data set 3 contains a non-modifiable con-
figuration. Moreover, data set 1 can be adapted to contain up to 4 bytes of collective state in-
formation. Only the input and output values for data set 1 have been predefined and these can
be freely adapted. You will find more detailed information in the section on the relevant gate-
way, as well as in the following section:
