EtherCAT MANUAL Manual Supplements The full user manual is available on TDK-Lambda website or can be ordered, refer to User manual IA761-04-02_. Modbus® is a registered trademark of Schneider Electric, licensed to the Modbus Organization, Inc. EtherCAT® is a registered trademark and patented technology, licensed by Beckhoff Automation GmbH, Germany.
CHAPTER 1: GENERAL INFORMATION Introduction The EtherCAT option for the power supply series allows the user to remotely program, measure and check status of the power supply by EtherCAT (CANopen over EtherCAT) protocol implementation. Refer SAFETY & INSTALLATION manual (IA761-04-01_) for information on safety requirements, specifications and installation.
CHAPTER 2: SPECIFICATIONS Power Supply Specifications When using EtherCAT, power supply ratings and accuracies are the same as for digital remote programming and monitoring using RS-232/485, USB or LAN. Refer to USER MANUAL (IA761-04-02_) for those specifications. EtherCAT Specifications ELECTRICAL ETHERNET Meets IEEE 802.3 specifications Auto-MDIX...
SECURITY Block All Protocols All protocols except EtherCAT (CoE & FoE) are blocked COMPLIANCE UL, IEC, TUV, CE, Conformances that are granted to basic power supply also apply to ROHS, etc… power supply with MODBUS TCP interface installed EtherCAT (CoE) Command Speed The following communication speeds are typical values only.

CHAPTER 3: SELECT CONTROL METHOD A Variety of Control Methods power supply with EtherCAT interface is very flexible. In addition to the EtherCAT interface, there are other ways the supply can be used. Refer to USER MANUAL (IA761-04-02_) for more details on the local operation mode (Front Panel), Serial operation mode (RS232/485 or USB), LAN operation mode (Ethernet) or Analog (Via J1, DB26HD).
The supply may be set to Local Lockout. Use EtherCAT SDO (Service Data Object) 9199 to read • or write power supply remote state, or turn the supply AC off and back on, and then press SYST / Lock Front Panel Button and acknowledge by clicking the Current Encoder Button. 3.2.2 Select RS232/485, USB (Serial) or LAN Remote Mode The serial (RS232/485 &...

EtherCAT Cable The EtherCAT cable must be supplied by the customer. It may be a standard straight “patch” CAT-5 (or better) network cable or a “crossover” cable. Cable type is auto-detected by the power supply. NOTE The serial link (RS-485) cable (0.5 meters long) provided with the power supply cannot be used for EtherCAT connection.

CHAPTER 5: ETHERCAT DATA STRUCTURE Programming / Monitoring Values Translation EtherCAT communication interface preserves power supply resolution and accuracy, according to specifications. Programming / Monitoring values are represented in a form of 16 bits unsigned integer value. Rated Voltage, Current and Power (nominal values) are represented as 53620 in a decimal base or 0xD174 in a hexadecimal base.
Char data type is used for strings represented as ASCII characters. Size of char is 1 byte. Char data type example - *IDN? query (address 8196, 100 bytes, 50 SDOs) for 100 Volts, 50 Amperes power supply: TDK-LAMBDA,G100-50-ETHERCAT,12345-123456,G:02.105. SDO Address...
Page 18
NOTES 1. * Last 0 is added as the initial register value is 0, this value is not part of the *IDN? string. 2. Always start SDO access from the first SDO address according to commands mapping table (refer to Section 5.8) for each command / query.
Data Access EtherCAT supports two types of data access operations: Read or Write. Query commands (SDOs) have Read access only. NOTES 1. SDOs which don’t have Read access return 0. 2. Write of an out of range value results in an error. It is recommended to read SDO 9128 (SYSTem:ERRor? query) to verify no errors.
9207 ASCII SYSTem:DATE? char 9214 SYSTem[:COMMunicate]:WATCHdog:STATe uint16 9215 1-3600 SYSTem[:COMMunicate]:WATCHdog:TIMe uint16 9216 ASCII SYSTem:PARallel? char 9222 Reserved uint16 NOTES 1. Size of each SDO: 2 bytes. 2. An out of range parameter might result in an unpredicted behavior of the power supply. 3.
