The Terminal enables within an EtherCAT Terminal network the integration of any CANopen devices and can either be master (EL6751) or slave (EL6751-0010). In addition, general CAN messages can be sent or received – without having to bother with CAN frames in the applications program. The terminal has a powerful protocol implementation with many features:
All CANopen PDO communication types are supported: event driven, time driven (using an event timer), synchronous, polling.
synchronisation with the PC controller’s task cycle
SYNC cycle with quartz precision for drive synchronisation, zero cumulative jitter
parameter communication (SDO) at start-up and when running
emergency message handling, guarding and heartbeat
powerful parameter and diagnostics interfaces
online bus load display
Like the FC5101 CANopen PCI card, the EL6751 can be used for connection to CANopen networks. The terminal, however, enables a more space-saving implementation since no PCI slots are required in the Industrial PC.
