Product name :EIO1616 (16 IN & 16 OUT, PCB Type)
Specification: 16 IN & 16 OUT EtherCAT Expansion Module
EIO1616 is an EtherCAT expansion module used for EtherCAT controllers, which can expand 16 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs. That is, when more IO resources are needed, EIO1616 can help you. And several EIO1616 modules can be used for one EtherCAT controller. In addition, after IO mapping, IO expansion can be achieved easily.
Digital Expansion: 16 inputs + 16 outputs (you also can select modular cover type, EIO1616MT, which has the external shell).
It has EtherCAT IN and EtherCAT OUT interfaces. EtherCAT IN connects to master controller, EtherCAT OUT connects to slave submodules. Please refer to “System Architecture”.
The fastest refresh period of EtherCAT is 250us.
It supports IO status display led, which can check IO status conveniently.
IO Start No. Configuration:
IOs No. configuration of EIO series modules can be set by instruction: NODE_IO.
Usage of NODE_IO: NODE_IO(slot,node)=iostart
*slot: bus slot No. of motion controller, for EtherCAT, the default value is 0.
*node: device No., starting from 0.
*iostart: starting IO No., for one single device, it’s IN starting No. and OP starting No. are the same.
Notes
a. IO starting No. 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.
b. If EIO1616 IO No. is set same as motion controller itself IO No., then both No. will take effect synchronously, which is not recommended.
c. Maximum IO No. of motion controller can be read through RTSys “controller state” window. Then, it can be set by NODE_IO command.
