Quick start

Proceed as follows for standard commissioning of the EL5042 with BiSS-C devices.

1. Install the EL5042 in the E-bus terminal strand on an EtherCAT coupler, e.g. EK1100 or EK1501.
2. Connect the BiSS-C device(s) according to the connection diagram (Data(+/-), Clock(+/-) and supply voltage).
3. Set up a correct EtherCAT configuration with the terminal.
   Since the device is present and is electrically reachable, the simplest way of accomplishing this is by scanning the devices.
4. Activate the EtherCAT master and start the terminal in OP state.
   In the input variables the EL5042 must deliver State=8 and WC=0.
5. Parameterize the CoE settings of the EL5042 according to the BiSS-C device data sheet.
• Reverse any previous parameter changes by means of a CoE reset: enter 0x64616F6C in object 0x1011:01.
• If an encoder voltage of, for example, 9 V is set in object 0x8008:12, ensure before connecting that this is supported by both encoders.
6. The data can now be read via the process data.
