Explanatory notes for parameters and modes
DC (Distributed Clocks)
Describes whether the terminal is operated with distributed clocks support:
Fig. 153: “DC” tab
•
FreeRun
: the terminal operates frame-triggered. Cyclic operation is started via the SyncManagers of
the EtherCAT frame processing.
•
DC-Synchron
: cyclic operation in the terminal is started by the local distributed clock at exact intervals.
The start time is chosen such that it coincides with other output slaves in the EtherCAT system.
•
DC-Synchron (input based)
: as DC-Synchron mode, with the cyclic start time chosen such that it
coincides with other input slaves in the EtherCAT system.
Main PDO
Selection of basic process data
Fig. 154: “Process data” tab
A: Selection of data direction: input or output
B: Selection of (optional) PDOs (process data objects)
C: Explanatory notes for PDOs
•
compact
: The process data can be represented with 16 bits (compact) or with 32 bits.
Note
No “Compact” process image in the EL5101-0010
The EL5101-0010 does not support a “Compact” process image.
