KUNBUS-COM EtherCAT
44 / 135
4.9 Scripter
The COMS-Modul includes a software component that allows you to
set up customer-specific data exchange protocols for SDI or CDI
serial interfaces. If, for example, the module is to communicate in an
application with a serial-controlled servomotor, this servomotor
expects a preset protocol to be processed in order to receive the
actuator values or to return sensor values. With the aid of the
Scripter you can load small executable program sequences into the
module that are then executed there cyclically. With the appropriate
data exchange protocol the module can receive such actuator values
e.g. via EtherCAT and transmit these via the serial interface of the
module (SDI or CDI) to the servomotor. The program sequences
required are loaded once into the module in the form of a script via
the CDI interface of the module and then always executed there
cyclically. KUNBUS provides you with a PC tool for creating and
testing such scripts. You can read all the necessary details in the
separate manual on the Scripter.
NOTICE! Please note that when using the Scripter and activating
a script the interface (CDI or SDI) selected for its communication
is always assigned for the Scripter.
If you choose the CDI interface,
you can then no longer use this interface to check and enter module
parameters ("CDI menus" are then no longer available). If you
choose the SDI interface as a serial communication channel for the
Scripter, you can then no longer process any Modbus protocol with
access to the memory register via this interface.
As a reminder:
The SDI interface is no longer available when the
module works in DPR mode.
