Module Types - JVL MAC00-EC41 User Manual

1.2
1.2.1 Module types (Only applicable for MAC00-Ex4/-Ex41)
The MacMotor Ethernet modules are available for several Ethernet protocols.
The module used for each protocol has its own unique type number, but is based on the
exactly same hardware.
A neutral module where no protocol is installed however also exist.
• Neutral module - no protocol installed.
MAC00-Ex4/-Ex41 is a neutral module not setup-up for any particular protocol. The
final user can setup it up for any of the available protocols just by using the general
MacTalk windows software.
The visible LED marking, labels etc. only states that its a neutral MAC00-Ex4/-Ex41
module.
• Pre-loaded module - a specific protocol has been installed.
The modules MAC00-EC4/-EC41 (EtherCAT), MAC00-EI4/-EI41 (EtherNetIP), and
MAC00-EL4/-EL41 (POWERLINK), MAC00-EP (Profinet), MAC00-EM (Modbus
TCP) are setup at delivery with the relevant protocol and also the right LED marking.
The final user can setup it up for any of the available protocols just by using the gen-
eral MacTalk windows software.
The visible LED marking, and type number is unique for each module type.
All modules (when not delivered mounted in a MacMotor) is followed by a little label
sheet containing labels for all the available standards and standards to come.
The overall idea is that any module can be changed to another protocol if desired, the
modules can stay neutral when it passes the distribution channel and be setup by the end-
user simplifying the logistics.
MAC800 users important:
Please notice that only MAC800 motors with a serial number newer than 85000 is com-
patible with the Ethernet modules MAC00-Exx.
1.2.2 How to change the protocol type
Only 2 steps are needed in this process.
1. Install the intended protocol firmware in the module.
2. Apply or changing the label with LED marking and type number of the module.
The firmware can be setup as follows
