EtherCAT @ PXL
Contents
• PXL• Examples:– Fast measurements– EtherCAT and Embedded Electronics• EtherCAT slaves• Delta robot
PXL
PXL-Tech• Building Construction• Biotechnology• Electronics-ICT• Electromechanics– Climatisation HVAC– Maintenance Technology
Application: Fast Measurement
• Equipment:– CX8090 PLC– EL1252 terminal– Optical sensors
Application: Fast Measurement
• Technology:– EtherCAT– Distributed Clocks– XFC
Application: Fast Measurement
• Purpose: Measure drop speed of an object– Ease of use– Timestamp of the last edge change– Resolution of 1ns independent of the cycle time
Application: EtherCAT Slaves
• Own EtherCAT slaves– Based on EL9800 EtherCAT evaluation board• EtherCAT ASIC ET1100
