The dialog window (Fig. 14) will open up. Here, one can enter the cycle time. This
determines how often the data will be propagated in the network. The minimal cycle
time is 2 ms. Default setting is 10 ms. Basically the cycle time must be set so that
the maximum speed requirements of the system are fulfilled. A fast cycle time
leads to more data traffic in the network. That can create communication
bottlenecks. Especially when using several EMGZ321 amplifiers and other EIP
devices in the same network a well-balanced data speed is important.

Note
Untick the box „Use Unicast Connection over EtherNet/IP“. The use of this feature is
not allowed as it will cause communication problems.

Access to the Tension Values
After the integration of
the amplifier in the
network the tension
data are available in the
global input tags of the
controller and that in the
defined cycle time. In
our example the
amplifier was named
EMGZ321_92
. The
tension values can
therefore be found
under the controller tags
