Configuration
EK9300
45
Version: 3.2.6
Advantage
Less effort for creating and maintaining projects, since the same project configuration can be used for
different hardware.
Sample
The standard machine configuration, without options, consists of:
• 1 x EK9300
• 2 x EL2004
• 2 x EL1004
• 1 x EL5051
The following options can be added:
• With energy monitoring for logging the energy consumption: additionally an EL3403
• With automatic adjustable axis: additionally an EL7047
• With temperature measurement: additionally an EL3314
The maximum configuration (with optional terminals shown in italics) then looks as follows:
• 1 x EK9300
• 2 x EL2004
• 2 x EL1004
• 1 x EL5051
• 1 x EL3314
• 1 x EL7047
• 1 x EL3403
It is this maximum configuration that is reflected in the hardware configuration.
If the machine is ordered without options, the terminals EL3314, EL7047 and EL3403 have to be disabled in
the project configuration. The EK9300 is notified of the record data (acyclic communication) to indicate which
terminals are no longer required. The terminals are identified via their position.
Without options, two KL2004 are present (at position 1 and 2), two EL1004 (at position 3 and 4) and one
EL5051 (at position 5). The terminals at positions 6, 7 and 8 (optional terminals) must be disabled.
If the machine is ordered with the option "automatic adjustable axis", only terminals 6 and 8 have to be
disabled.
Position of optional terminals
Optional terminals can be connected at any position and may be disabled. They do not necessarily
have to be located at the end, as shown in the example.
First steps
In order to enable the EK9300 to operate in multi-configuration mode, MultiConfigurationMode must be set to
"TRUE" in the DAP (device access point).
There are two possible setting options.
Option 1
This is perhaps a version for testing, since the hardware configuration must be adjusted, which should
preferably be avoided.
In the DAP there is a MultiConfigurationMode setting with the slots. Here you can disable EtherCAT
Terminals, which are configured but not present.
