1.1.2. Overview of the System Configurations

_1
The two categories of system configurations of AH Motion series motion control CPU are as follows.
 Basic System Configurations
The AH Motion series CPU basic configurations include the AH Motion CPU Network Configuration, AH500 Series
Module Configuration, and Supported Software.
AH Motion Network Configuration
- AHxxEMC-5A
You can use the EtherCAT master port built in on the CPU interface to connect to slave devices such as analog and digital
I/O, servo drives, AC motor drives and encoder input devices. With EtherCAT network configuration, you can design a
system capable of performing very accurate sequence and motion control in a fixed cycle.
AH500 Series Module Configuration
With the motion backplane, you can also add AH500 series I/O modules* in addition to the EtherCAT network. AH500
series modules can be installed directly to the motion backplane where the CPU module is mounted.
*Note: a few of AH500 series I/O modules are not supported by the motion backplane. Refer to Ch2 System
Configuration for the list of supported products.
Supported Software
ISPSoft is the major programming software that you use for an AH Motion series motion controller. You can connect the
software on the computer to the USB interface on the CPU module through a commercially available USB cable. You can
also connect ISPSoft to the Ethernet port on the CPU module with an Ethernet cable or to the built-in RS-485 port on the
Motion backplane with a RS-485 cable and a converting device, e.g. IFD6500 USB/RS-485 converter. In addition to
ISPSoft, you can also use other software for configuring various applications based on different networks.
