Applications/Examples of results
■ A purpose to seamlessly integrate existing peripheral devices and measurement terminals such as CUnet, A-Link (HLS), Modbus, and SIO specifications into a unified EtherCAT main network via a gateway unit. ■ Depending on the space and layout requirements within the control panel, utilizing a range from the ultra-compact "Chibi Maru-kun" to the 32-point bulk processing "Deka Maru-kun" to build an efficient remote I/O system. ■ The equipment design aims to dramatically reduce labor for assembly and maintenance work on-site by extensively using push-in terminal blocks that allow for quick wiring without tools and one-touch connection e-CON connectors. ■ In manufacturing sites such as various furnaces and molding machines, utilizing dedicated temperature input units and 4-channel analog input/output units for real-time data collection and control of various valves and inverters. ■ Using line drivers and open-drain pulse output units for flexible distributed control of multi-axis positioning of stepping motors and servo motors, as well as conveyor transport speeds. ■ An IoT environment that utilizes an IO-Link gateway to collect device-specific information and diagnostic data from intelligent sensors on-site and transmit it to higher-level monitoring systems via EtherCAT.
