EtherCAT cable redundancy
EtherCAT cable redundancy can be realised in the CX50x0 systems through the two independent Ethernet ports.
Minimum requirements:
1. EtherCAT redundancy supplement
2. EK1110 (bus extension)
3. EK1100
(Bus
Coupler)
The supplement product on the Beckhoff website at
http://download.beckhoff.com/download/Software/TwinCAT/Supplement/TwinCAT_EtherCAT_Redundancy/Install/Tc
EcRedundancy.exe
can be downloaded. The required licence key can be ordered from our sales division. The required couplers are
ordered together with the other hardware. These components can then be used to configure the controller. The upper
figure shows a minimum configuration example for cable redundancy. Once the hardware has been wired and
commissioned, the supplement must be installed on the device, for example via a USB stick or the IT network. During
the installation the system asks for the licence key. The cable redundancy can be set up in the System Manager. The
first step involves reading the terminal configuration. Then select "Advanced Settings" under the "EtherCAT" tab in
the EtherCAT device properties. The second adapter can be set under the "Redundancy" menu. Use the "Search"
button to open the selection menu. Select "Local Area Connection 2 (Intel(R).....)" for the lower network connection
(X001). Click "OK" to complete the configuration.
