EK9300 Settings

Data Presentation

The data of the coupler is transmitted in Motorola format by default. If your controller requires the data in Intel format, you can use this setting to rotate the process data accordingly.

EBus error behaviour

See chapter EBus error behaviour

Set EBus cycle

If there are problems in the establishment of PROFINET communication when using a higher number of complex terminals on the EK9300, the combination of adjusting the "Set EBus Cycle" setting from default "1 ms" to "PN cycle" and adjusting the PN cycle time can provide a remedy. Usually it is sufficient to set the PROFINET cycle time to 2 ms, if necessary to 4 ms.

Notice
If the PN Cycle feature is activated and the PROFINET cycle time is set to more than 64 ms, the EtherCAT cycle is still operated with 64 ms so that the internal watchdog of the EtherCAT Terminals (100 ms) does not intervene. This means that if a PN cycle of 128 ms is set in the PROFINET controller, the internal EtherCAT cycle is operated with 64 ms.

PN error behavior

How the data of the coupler is transferred in case of PROFINET errors can be set via dropdown list.

Set to zero (default): data will all be set to "0"
Defined fallback: data is set to a defined value.
Frozen: data is frozen to the value you have at the moment of the error.
Stop Ebus: Kanother EtherCAT frame passes the coupler and its devices. The EtherCAT state machine is in "INIT"

Acyclic frame prioritization

If required by the application, acyclic frames (record data) can be prioritized.
