EtherCAT master, connection [X186]
The EtherCAT master interface exchanges drive data such as position and speed setpoints or actual position values directly with the AMKASYN converter or establishes a cross communication to other EtherCAT slave controllers.
Further functions of the EtherCAT master interface:
- Integration in a network according to IEC/PAS 62407
- Automatic configuration with the AIPEX PRO software
- Topology: Bus, tree and star on Ethernet transmission physics
- Address area 1 - 2047
- Cyclic master-slave real-time communication (min. 0,5 ms bus cycle time)
- Maximum baud rate according to the EtherCAT standard (currently 100 Mbaud)
- Unicast and multicast connections
- Synchronisation based on the principle of distributed clocks
- The controller internal system cycle (PGT) is synchronised to the bus cycle.
- Drive profile according to EtherCAT (SoE Servo Drive Profile IEC 61800-7-300)
- Standards IEC 61784-2, IEC 61158
