Support of modular machine configuration for EtherCAT

Function extension:

Lenze controllers support the modular machine configuration (MMC) for EtherCAT.
The concept of the modular machine configuration is based on the fact that depending on the configuration selected in a project, certain EtherCAT slaves must be physically available on the bus (mandatory slaves) or need not/must not be available (optional slaves). I.e. the real arrangement/order of the EtherCAT nodes on the fieldbus need not correspond to the arrangement/order in the application program.

Application:
Key features of the modular machine configuration:
  • From the application program, you can select different configurations.
  • It is possible to activate/deactivate EtherCAT nodes (change the configuration) without stopping/(re)starting the PLC application or a reset of the control system.
  • The application program can identify whether an EtherCAT node is active or not.
  • The application program can respond to differences between the configuration and the physical EtherCAT bus structure.
