8 Advanced features
8.1Distributed clocks
|
| |
|
| accurately time synchronize slave devices. Position, speed and current control loops |
|
| can all be synchronized. |
|
| When the option module is connected to a drive which can take a time synchronization |
|
| signal (e.g. a Unidrive SP or Digitax ST), the EtherCAT distributed clocks facility can be |
|
| used to provide this signal so the drive speed and current tasks are synchronized to the |
|
| network. The position controller, and appropriate motion features will also be |
|
| synchronized to the drive speed task. |
|
| In CoE interpolated position mode the position command provided by the master every |
| NOTE | |
|
| interpolation cycle time is used to generate a position command for the drive every |
|
| 250µs. |
8.2 |
| |
|
| The following are supported: |
•Four Sync Managers. Two are used for the Mailbox Protocol
•Distributed Clocks
•CANopen over EtherCAT (CoE)
•CMP protocol through Modbus RTU (only on the Unidrive SP, Digitax ST, Mentor MP and Affinity)
