imc CRONOSflex Description of the system

Even an entire CRONOS

flex

system, consisting of the base unit and multiple signal conditioners can be

integrated into the 3rd party system having a “3rd-party” EtherCAT bus-master: For this purpose, the
CRONOS

flex

Base Unit can be equipped with an EtherCAT device interface, making the entire device

available as a data source in the sense of an EtherCAT slave device. The respective interface module
(ECAT-IF) is available as one of multiple optional fieldbus expansions of the CRONOS

flex

Base Unit. To

parameterize this sub-system in turn, the imc STUDIO operating software can be used.

imc CRONOS

flex

as complete slave subsystem within an EtherCAT-based 3rd party system
