Product name :EIO24088-V2 EtherCAT Bus Expansion Module
Specifications: 8 axes EtherCAT expansion module
EIO24088-V2 expansion module is an expansion module used by the EtherCAT bus controller. When IO and other resources are insufficient, an expansion module needs to be added. The controller can connect multiple expansion modules at the same time. The expansion modules are connected through the bus, and each expansion module has a unique address, starting from 0. The program on the controller can access the resources on the expansion module only through the IO number, and the IO number is set by the bus instruction NODE_IO.
IOs number configuration of EIO series modules can be set by instrution: NODE_IO.
Grammer of NODE_IO:
NODE_IO(slot,node)=iostart
slot: bus slot number of motion controller, default value is 0.
node: device number, start from 0.
iostart: start IO number to be set, and input start number and output start number are the same in one single equipment.
Note1: IO sart number can only be times of 8, such as 0,8,16,24 etc. If isostart is set as 30, then IO start number will be appointed as 24 compulsively.
Note 2: If IO start number of module is set same as motion controller, then both devices will share same IOs, it will take effect synchronously, but this is not recommended 24 compulsively.
Maximum IO number of motion controller can be read by checking controller status on ZDevelop, then use NODE_IO instruction.
