Beckhoff EL500x SSI Interface
This block implements the Beckhoff's EtherCAT series of SSI Sensor Interface (EL5001, EL5002) and Monitor Terminal (EL5001-001x)
Sensor Interface
Configure the terminals EL5001 and EL5002 in the tabs
- Main Note that for DC, do not use DC Latch
active. This is reserved for EL5001-001x
- Chan1 See the Beckhoff documentation for a description
of the various fields
- Chan2 Only for EL5002
The following block outputs appear:
- SSI code (PDO #x6000:17)
- Data Error (PDO #x6000:1)
- Frame Error (PDO #x6000:2)
- Power Failure (PDO #x6000:3) - check option Enable Power
Failure bit in ChanX tab
For EL5002, every port is a vector with 2 elements.
Monitor Terminal
Configure the EL5001-001x terminal in the tabs
- Main Note that for DC, only the options
- FreeRun/SM-Synchron
- DC Latch active
- DC Customized with #x120 for AssignActivate
should be used
- Chan1 Note that Baudrate and Min Inhibit
Time are ignored.
- EL5001-001x Note that to be able to use
Timestamp, choose the correct Distributed Clocks mode
other than FreeRun/SM-Synchron in the Main tab.
The block outputs are the same as for Sensor Interface, except
that if Timestamp is chosen, PDO #x1a02:6000:18 is inserted
at Port 2.
