Configuration overview

IL230x-B110 (IL2300-B110, IL2301-B110, IL2302-B110)

In TwinCAT System Manager Config mode enter the IL230x-B110 as an EtherCAT (Direct Mode) device under Devices (Fig. 1). Any Fieldbus Box modules already connected to the network can also be read. All boxes with extensions and configurations are uploaded automatically. You can then adapt these to meet your requirements. FreeRun status must be set in TwinCAT.

Note regarding the screenshots: IP-Link values are displayed as K-Bus values in TwinCAT.

Inputs

CouplerState, "Online" tab

Display of general Fieldbus Box errors.

Fig. 3 CouplerState, "Online" tab

Outputs

CouplerCtrl, "Online" tab

Display of IP-Link/K-Bus errors or deactivation of outputs.

Working counter status (WcState)

WCstate, "Online" tab

Boolean variable indicating the working counter status of the Fieldbus Box. An invalid working counter (value: 1) is displayed if invalid data were transferred by the EtherCAT slave controller.

Online status (Info Data)

State, "Online" tab

Indicates the online status of the Fieldbus Box.

Value	Description
0x___1	Slave in 'INIT' state
0x___2	Slave in 'PREOP' state
0x___3	Slave in 'BOOT' state
0x___4	Slave in 'SAFEOP' state
0x___8	Slave in 'OP' state
0x001_	Slave signals error
0x002_	Invalid vendorId, productCode... read
0x004_	Initialization error occurred
0x010_	Slave not present
0x020_	Slave signals link error
0x040_	Slave signals missing link
0x080_	Slave signals unexpected link
0x100_	Communication port A
0x200_	Communication port B
0x400_	Communication port C
0x800_	Communication port D

ADS address (ADSAddr)

ADSAddr, Online tab

Single line indicating the AMS netID and the AMS port of the Fieldbus Box using the hexadecimal system. This information is required for mailbox communication via ADS.

Example

AC 10 07 3F 02 01 (AMS netID) = 172.16.7.63.2.1
03 E9 (port) = 1001_dec

EtherCAT / IP-Link cycle time

The IP-Link cycle time resulting from the station configuration with extension box modules is directly displayed in ConfigMode.

Fig. 8 CycleTime

If the EtherCAT cycle time exceeds the IP-Link cycle time both systems operate in synchronous mode. The IP link is started after an EtherCAT telegram and copies its inputs into the memory. They are retrieved with the next EtherCAT telegram, i.e. the inputs are always exactly one cycle old.

If the EtherCAT cycle is shorter than the IP link cycle, the K-Bus operates asynchronous relative to EtherCAT. Faster polling than "Estimated Cycle (offline)" is therefore possible but may lead to outdated input data or outputs not being set in time via the IP link.

The EtherCAT cycle applied to the IL230x-B110 Fieldbus Box modules should therefore be significantly greater than the "Estimated Cycle (offline)" (min. 250 µs, depending on the configuration). Online control in the system through "Max. Cycle (online)" or "CouplerState" is recommended.

The cycle time can also be read via CoE Online from Table 98 [LO].

Check of the connected boxes

If you activate "Check Terminals at Startup", at startup is checked if the connected boxes fit to the configured boxes.
