Comissioning and Configuration
EP9214-0023 and EP9224-0023
43
Version: 2.3.1
4.3
Operation with or without EtherCAT master
The EP92x4 is preset in the factory and delivered with a set rated current of 4.0 A and all eight channels
switched on.
Attention
The channels switch on automatically during commissioning
In the basic setting the rated current of the EP92x4 is 4 A per channel. Shortly after the
EP92x4 is supplied with voltage, all channels are switched on with a delay of 100 ms each.
This is preset by the CoE object 0xF707:01
Fig. 43: CoE object 0xF707:01 - Enable Control via Fieldbus
If the EP92x4 is operated on an EtherCAT master, the basic setting or the bootup can be adapted.
This is done via the variable DPO Outputs Device ->
Enable control via Fieldbus
in the process data.
At the next power-on of the box the load circuits will then be switched on depending on the settings in the
CoE objects.
Note
Customize all parameters when EtherCAT is used for the first time
If the EP92x4 operated for the first time with EtherCAT connection, all parameters need to
be adjusted.
Attention
Without EtherCAT connection the outputs switch in default status
After the EP92x4 was configured with an EtherCAT master you can disconnect the Ether-
CAT connection. But in this case the parameters of all outputs switch in the default status.
When the connection is restored to the EtherCAT master, the previously set values are
available again.
Example for parametrizing the outputs when using EtherCAT
Via the tab “CoE – Online” you can adjust different settings of the box module. For example, it is possible to
adjust the “Nominal Current U
S
” (Index: 8000:12), by double-clicking to the respective parameter opens the
“Set Value Dialog” (see following figure).
