Quick start flowchart
Figure 9-5 details the steps required to achieve cyclic communications
on the EtherCAT network. This flowchart should be used as the starting
point for all configurations.

Saving parameters to the drive
To avoid loss of the configured settings when the drive is powered down
a save function must be carried out.
To store drive parameters:
Using a KI-Remote Keypad
•
Select ‘save parameters in PR mm.000 (alternatively enter a value
of 1000 in PR mm.000.
•
Press the red
reset button.
Using Connect
•
Select the save parameters in drive function

Station alias configuration
A station alias can be used to uniquely identify a particular slave on the
EtherCAT network, however it is unnecessary for a user to set a station
alias in order to initiate EtherCAT communications.
When a Digitax HD M753 is fitted with a KI-Compact Display the rotary
dials on the display allow for an EtherCAT station alias to be configured
when set to a non zero value. The station alias feature will also need to
be configured in the EtherCAT master.
The station alias setting configured using the KI-Compact Display is an
8 bit value (decimal 1 to 255). The most significant nibble is set by
adjusting the top dial and the least significant nibble is set by the bottom
dial (see Figure 5-1
Dial settings and equivalent decimal values are shown in Table 9-4.
Table 9-4 Dial settings and equivalent decimal value
The station alias will be set to the sum of the most significant nibble and
the least significant nibble (in decimal).
As the dials are adjusted each setting is shown on the display. Once the
dials are set to the desired configurations the display will confirm the dial
settings in hexadecimal followed by the station alias setting in decimal,
dial settings and station alias setting are separated with a hyphen (-).
Once the desired dial configurations have been set, the KI-Compact
Display will transfer the value to Pr
11.017
Keypad defined node address
and if the value is not zero it will be updated as the station alias in the
EtherCAT background. In this case Pr
17.035
Configured station alias
is ignored.
Example:
To set a node address of 55 via the display, with reference to Table 9-4,
set the most significant dial to 3 (decimal 48) and the least significant
dial to 7 (decimal 7).
The station alias setting can be configured from the rotary dials of the
KI-Compact Display with no power applied to the drive (with the
exception of a zero value setting). Non zero configured settings will be
transferred to the drive on the next power up.
The KI-Compact Display can be installed/removed while the drive is
powered. A delay of 10 seconds should be maintained following power
up or following a node address dial adjustment before the KI-Compact
Display can be removed from the drive, to ensure correct transfer of
station alias configuration data.
END
Ensure the ESI files (xml files) package
installed on the master has the same revision
number as the EtherCAT interface firmware
Check the LED status of the EtherCAT
interface
START
In the master, scan the EtherCAT network
Select required PDOs
Configure the PDOs with the mappings
required
Configure the Sync managers using the
required PDOs
Download or activate the configuration to the
master
Check the front of the EtherCAT interface to
ensure that the LED relating to the connection
being used is flashing, this confirms that
communications are functioning
