Conductor losses
When planning a system, take into account the voltage drop across the EtherCAT P cables. Make sure that the supply voltages at any EtherCAT P input do not fall below the minimum rated voltage.
Power supply unit voltage fluctuations must also be taken into account.
 | Planning tool for EtherCAT P You can plan cable lengths, voltages and currents of your EtherCAT P system using TwinCAT 3. The requirement for this is TwinCAT 3 Build 4020 or higher.
Further information can be found in the quick start guide IO configuration in TwinCAT in chapter "Configuration of EtherCAT P via TwinCAT". |
