Fieldbus Communication - Kemppi A7 350 Integration Manual

3.9 Fieldbus communication

This welding system supports the following fieldbus
choices for communication between the welding
equipment and the welding robot.
Ethernet:
EtherNet/IP
EtherCAT
PROFINET
Modbus TCP
Others:
DeviceNet
PROFIBUS DP-V1
Modbus RTU
The choices are enabled by interchangeable Anybus
CompactCom M30 modules manufactured by HMS. See the
A7 MIG Welder Operating manual for the complete list of
modules and their order codes.
Do not remove or attach the fieldbus module when the
power is switched on. Doing so could damage the module.
There is a connection slot for the module on the back of
the robot interface unit. Place the appropriate type of
Anybus module in the slot (see Figure 3.13, "Installing a
fieldbus adapter"). Ensure that it sits properly in its place.
Tighten the two screws on the module after you have
placed it into the slot. Connect a suitable fieldbus cable to
the connector of the Anybus module and the other end of
the cable to the robot controller.
