Introduction
Master and slave terminals for CANopen
The master and slave terminals for CANopen correspond to the FC5101 PCI card from Beckhoff. Thanks to the connection via Ethernet, no PCI slots are required in the PC. Within an EtherCAT terminal network, it enables the integration of any CANopen devices. In addition, general CAN messages can be sent or received – without having to bother with CAN frames in the applications program. The EL6751 is alternatively available in a master or slave version and has a powerful protocol implementation with many features:
- All CANopen PDO communication types are supported: event-controlled, time-controlled (event timer), synchronous.
- Synchronization with the PC controller's task cycle.
- SYNC cycle with quartz precision for drive synchronization, zero cumulative jitter.
- Parameter communication (SDO) at start-up and at runtime.
- Emergency message handling, guarding and heartbeat.
- Powerful parameter and diagnostics interfaces.
- Online bus load display
