EtherCAT master

The SPH5000EC comes with EtherCAT ports on all sides of the module.
As an EtherCAT master, it can be connected to various EtherCAT slaves.

※

EtherCAT is a real-time, industrial open network developed by Beckhoff Automation GmbH.

EtherCAT configurator

Enables configuration of EtherCAT network by starting the EtherCAT configurator from Expert (D300win).

  • Batch management of EtherCAT master and slave calibration with simple operations from the tree view

  • Enables flexible system configurations with Expert (D300win) and Fuji Electric original networks (SX bus, E-SX bus, T-LINK, etc.)

Synchronization control of Ether CAT

Synchronization in the bus

Synchronizes the data output timing between EtherCAT stations.

Synchronization between buses

Data output timing is synchronized between channels of the EtherCAT.

Connection function of the EtherCAT

Hot connect function

Slaves can be connected and disconnected while the SPH5000EC (EtherCAT master) is running.
Moreover, since the system can be configured to include unconnected slaves, it is possible to configure a system with a mix of required slaves and optional slaves to be added.

Motion Program (FB)

Provides a wide variety of motion programs (FB)

  • Various types of functional software (FB) are available.

  • Allows motion programs for large-scale systems to be built quickly by combining FBs.

  • Enables the functions required for the machinery to be freely set for each axis.There are no restrictions on the combination of motion functions (positioning, interpolation, synchronous operation, etc.).

  • Dramatically improves program development efficiency, debugging efficiency, and reliability by reusing functionally blocked FBs.

FB for various applications

Control content FB name Function
Number of control axes Content
Virtual main axis VS00_VM - Generates main axis pulses (reference signals for synchronization).
Used when the virtual main axis is utilized as the main axis.
PTP positioning VSC01_PTP 1-axis Performs PTP positioning.
2-axis linear interpolation
2-axis circular arc		 VSC02_INTP 2-axis Performs linear interpolation and circular arc interpolation positioning using two servo axes.
There are two types of circular arc interpolation: the radius specification and center point specification methods.
It is also possible to perform PTP positioning for each axis.
Ratio synchronization VSC03_PSYNC 1-axis Performs PTP positioning and ratio synchronization.
The ratio can be changed at any time and the main axis can be reversed.
Interval synchronization
(rotational)		 VSC04_RSYNC 1-axis Performs PTP positioning and rotary shear operation (interval synchronization/rotational).
In a rotary shear, operates continuously in one direction relative to the main axis pulse.
Used in synchronization where the length of each workpiece needs to be controlled because the phases of the main axis and the sub axis are controlled.
Interval synchronization
(reciprocating)		 VSC05_FSYNC 1-axis Performs PTP positioning and rotary shear operation (interval synchronization/reciprocating).
In a flying shear, the operation is intermittent in a reciprocating manner relative to the main axis pulse.
After synchronization, it returns to its original position and waits for the next cycle.
Electronic cam operation VSC06_CAM 1-axis Performs PTP positioning and cam operation.
Operates with the registered cam pattern synchronized with the main axis.
Uses the cam pattern creation FB [VS07_CAMPTN] to create the cam pattern.
Cam pattern creation VM_CAMPTN - Creates cam pattern data for electronic cam FB.
Speed control VSC08_VEL 1-axis Performs speed control.Used to control conveyors that do not require positioning, such as for constant speed operation and winding.
Torque control VSC09_TRQ 1-axis Performs torque control. Used for constant control of tension and pressure.
Auxiliary FB Parameter
reading/writing		 VSCP100_PRM - Reads and writes parameters of ALPHA7.
Mark detection VSCP101_MARK - Performs mark measurement (length measurement of mark interval) and moving average processing as auxiliary functions when performing interval synchronization (rotational) positioning operation.
Used in combination with interval synchronization (rotational) FB [VSC04_RSYNC].
Phase adjustment VSP102_PHADJ - Performs phase adjustment as an auxiliary function when performing interval synchronization (rotational) positioning operation.
Used in combination with interval synchronization (rotational) FB [VSC04_RSYNC].
