EtherNet/IP overview
Chapter 3
Linear topology
The linear topology uses the embedded switching capability to form a daisy-
chain style network that has a beginning and an end. Linear topology simplifies
installation and reduces wiring and installation costs, but a break in the network
disconnects all devices downstream from the break. When this topology is used,
both ethernet connections on the encoder may be used. For the network
connection use Link 1, Link 2, or both.
Endless Shaft Functionality
The endless-shaft feature is not supported for the single-turn encoder. This
functionality is applicable only for the multi-turn Ethernet encoders.
The round axis functionality or endless shaft functionality removes the
restriction that the total resolution must be 2H times the steps per revolution.
The shaft is considered an endless shaft.
The steps per revolution are not configured directly. Instead the nominator and
divisor for the number of revolutions are defined. The total measuring range can
be scaled from 1…1,073,741,824 as an integer.
The encoder supports the function for round axes. During this process, the steps
per revolution are set as a fraction. As a result, the total resolution does not have
to be configured to 2H times the steps per revolution and can also be a decimal
number. The output position value is adjusted with the zero point correction, the
counting direction set and the gearbox parameters entered.
Number of revolutions, nominator for the round axis functionality: The
nominator can be scaled from 1…2,048 as an integer. The default factory setting
for the nominator is 2,048.
Number of revolutions, divisor for the round axis functionality: The divisor can
be scaled from 1…65,535 as an integer. The default factory setting for the divisor
is 1.
Example
:
A rotary table for a filling system is to be controlled. The steps per revolution are
predefined by the number of filling stations. There are nine filling stations. For
