Configuration

The EL6740-0010 acts as an Interbus slave for linking process data with an Interbus strand or reading process data from the Interbus telegrams. The EL6740-0010 first has to be configured via EtherCAT so that the Interbus master can detect it.

Proceed as follows to configure the EL6740-0010:

Configuration 2:
Adding process data
Configuration 3:
Adding process data, number
Configuration 4:

Note regarding process data

The process data of the EL6740-0010 must have the following characteristics:

    • Only WORD variables (16 bit) are permitted
    • Up to 32 words input variables and 32 words output variables can be created
    Configuration 6:

    EL6740-0010 "INIT" status

    SUPI reset with each EL6740-0010 init; an error occurs at the IB, which must be acknowledged there. While the EL6740-0010 is in init state the SUPI remains in reset.

    Configuration 7:

    IBS status

    As long as the EL6740-0010 is not in OP status, the terminal signals /STATERR on the Interbus. In this case, no valid process data inputs are available for the IBS.
    /STATERR is also reported if the SyncManager watchdog of the EL6740-0010 drops, e.g. due to a fault in the EtherCAT communication. 

    Configuration 8:

    Status word of the EL6740-0010

    Error messages with the following values are reported to the status input of the EL6740-0010:

    0x2000: SUPI station Error,
    No data have been sent to the Interbus

    0x4000: SUPI invalid data received from Interbus
    Invalid data receives from the Interbus
