Operation with or without EtherCAT master
The EP92x4 is preset in the factory and delivered with a set nominal current of 4.0 A and all eight channels switched on.
Note | |
The channels switch on automatically during commissioning In the basic setting the nominal current of the EP92x4 is 4 A per channel. Shortly after the EP92x4 is supplied with voltage, all channels are switched on with a delay of 100 ms each. |
This is preset by the CoE object 0xF707:01
If the EP92x4 is operated on an EtherCAT master, the basic setting or the bootup can be adapted.
This is done via the variable DPO Outputs Device - > Enable control via Fieldbus in the process data.
At the next power-on of the box the load circuits will then be switched on depending on the settings in the CoE objects.
 | In the case of EtherCAT use, adjust all parameters first If the EP92x4 is being operated for the first time with an EtherCAT connection, all parameter must be adjusted. |
Note | |
Outputs switch to the default status without an EtherCAT connection The EtherCAT connection may be disconnected once the EP92x4 has been parameterized with an EtherCAT Master. However, the voltage and current values of all outputs switch to the default status in this case. If the connection to the EtherCAT Master is restored, the previously set values are available again. |
Example of the parameterization of the outputs when using EtherCAT
Different settings of the Box Module can be made on the "CoE – Online" tab. As an example, the "Nominal Current US" (Index: 8000:12) can be set by double-clicking on this parameter to open the "Set Value Dialog" (see illustration below).
If the EtherCAT connection has been disconnected, the option "Show Offline Data" should be enabled. The default values of the respective parameters are thus displayed.
