PECIFICATIONS
The SMD17K Family
The SMD17K units are part of a growing product line from
AMCI with a simple concept: a stepper indexer, driver, and
motor that can be attached to any popular industrial net-
work. Each SMD17K attaches to your Ethernet based net-
work and communicates using the EtherCAT protocol.
EtherCAT uses standard Ethernet cabling, but forgoes the
full TCP/IP stack typically associated with Ethernet com-
munications. The EtherCAT protocol transfers data to and
from multiple slaves with a single packet of information.
Data for each slave is located at a known position within
the packet. EtherCAT slave devices use a hardware only
solution to read and write data to the packet before trans-
mitting the packet to the next slave. This solution leads to
a transmission delay that is typically 4 microseconds or
less. This results in a very fast and deterministic network.
An EtherCAT Slave Information (ESI) file is available for
the SMD17K units. The ESI file is required to add the
device to the network. Configuration of the SMD17K is
accomplished using the CANopen PDO and SDO objects.
EtherCAT supports CANopen through its CANopen over
Ethernet (CoE) interface. Motion commands and status information is transmitted using the output and input
variables assigned to the SMD17K when the EtherCAT system is configured.
Each unit also supports the Distributed Clock (DC) functionality of the EtherCAT system. This allows you to
synchronize the start of moves across devices using the SYNC0 signal instead of the SyncManager 2 event.
Each unit can be ordered with an optional incremental or absolute multi-turn encoder. This encoder gives you
the additional functionality of position verification and stall detection. The absolute multi-turn encoder allows
you to track machine position with power removed, eliminating the need to home the machine after cycling
power.
Three different IP ratings are available in the SMD17K product lines.
IP50: Units have sealed M12 D-coded connectors for their ethernet ports. A sealed M12 A-coded con-
nector is used for power and two digital inputs.
IP64: Units have a shaft seal and sealed M12 D-coded connectors for their ethernet ports. A sealed
M12 A-coded connector is used for power and two digital inputs.
IP65/67: Units have a shaft seal and sealed M12 D-coded connectors for their ethernet ports. A sealed
M12 A-coded connector is used for power and two digital inputs. Additionally, the units are
sealed with an FDA approved epoxy.
This manual is designed to get you up and running quickly with an SMD17K prod-
uct from AMCI. As such, it assumes you have some basic knowledge of stepper
systems. If you are new to stepper systems, we’re here to help. AMCI has a great
deal of information on our website and we are adding more all the time. If you
can’t find what you’re looking for at http://www.amci.com, send us an e-mail or
call us. We’re here to support you with all of our knowledge and experience.
