4 EtherCAT connection
EtherCAT connection basically comprises the following steps:
1. One-off module/channel setup for isochronous data traffic with the QuantumX Assistant
(possibly also channel configuration).
2. Setting and configuring the individual channels via EtherCAT:
• channel configuration (SDO)
• process data assignment (PDO)
The following EtherCAT configuration tools are currently available:
• EtherCAT Studio (König PA)
• TwinCAT (Beckhoff)
The XML file required for configuration can be found on the QuantumX System CD or on the
HBM Internet site. You can also perform the configuration via a network scan or the
information stored in the EEPROM.
4.1 Setting isochronous data transfer
You must first configure the relevant module channels for isochronous data transmission with
the QuantumX Assistant (”Signals” tab) and via Ethernet TCP/IP:
1. Connect your modules in the deactivated state to the CX27 Gateway via FireWire cable
1-KAB269 (from connection X102 to X101, etc.), or use the active 1-BPX001 backplane
for connection.
2. Connect your PC to the CX27 Gateway via an Ethernet cable.
3. Switch on the supply voltage.
4. Launch the QuantumX Assistant.
5. In the ”Signals” tab, activate isochronous data transfer for the required channels (see
Fig.2.1).

You can now work via the EtherCAT Gateway and configure your modules for EtherCAT
applications.
