Overview
Module features
The
PSSnet GW1 MOD-EtherCAT
}
operates as a protocol converter between Modbus/TCP and
EtherCAT,
}
can be used to exchange data between products that support Modbus/TCP or
Ether-
CAT . For example, this may be a control system from the automation system
PSS 4000 from Pilz on one side and a third-party product on the other. The third party
product must support
EtherCAT .
Features of the
PSSnet GW1 MOD-EtherCAT:
}
Can be used with Pilz products that support Modbus/TCP:
– Control systems from the automation system PSS 4000 (e.g. PSSu H)
– Compact/modular 3rd generation PSS-range programmable safety systems (e.g.
PSS SB 3006-3 ETH-2, PSS(1) SB CPU3 ETH-2)
– Operator terminals PMI with Modbus/TCP interface (e.g. PMI 5)
– Motion control systems (e.g. PMCprimo Drive3, PMCprimo DriveP, PMCprimo 16+)
}
1 x RJ45 socket for connection to Modbus/TCP,
}
Can manage up to 8 Modbus/TCP connections
}
Can operate as a Modbus/TCP connection Server,
}
Web server for managing and configuring the Gateway,
}
Supports
CANopen over EtherCAT,
}
Operates as a Slave in the
EtherCAT network,
}
Transmission rate 10 MBit/s (10BaseT) and 100 MBit/s (100BaseTX),
}
2 x RJ45 socket for connection to EtherCAT,
}
supports autonegotiating,
}
LEDs for displaying the communication status and errors,
}
input/output data
– up to 512 Bytes acyclical data (SDO),
– in total (RxPDO and TxPDO) max. 512 Bytes,
– additionally it is possible to transfer data between the control systems,
}
supply voltage
– 20 ms buffer in case of supply interruptions,
