EtherCAT interface for I/O
Master configuration
I/O addresses are automatically mapped as Tags in the controller for use by all modules (Operator Interface, Motion Program, and Scope tools)
PCI form factor
Two RJ45 connectors
Set up with Sycon.net or Beckhoff configuration tool
EtherCAT I/O is tightly integrated into the A3200 automation machine controller. Devices are configured with the card setup tool that generates the Fieldbus network topology definition. The user can then map the I/O with meaningful tag names that are available for use in the AeroBasic™ programming language directly, as well as in any of the applications such as the Scope or Motion Composer.
All EtherCAT I/O is easily mapped to the input and output memory. Programmers can map the I/O points to Tags that are shared with all parts of the system logic, motion, Operator Interface, or Scope tools. In the Scope tools, the Tags can be plotted alongside other I/O including drive I/O, motion states (position, velocity, acceleration, or motor currents), or other tags. The shared Tags are available in all of the programming languages automatically by name. Programming languages include AeroBasic™, LabVIEW®, C, or .NET. EtherCAT provides a standard interface into the full A3200 machine controller.
