Connection Architecture (Ethernet) - FiveCo FMod-IPAXESCTRL User Manual

Connection architecture (Ethernet)

The figure below shows the connection diagram of the FMod-IPAXESCTRL
board. The user interacts with the MMI (Man Machine Interface), e.g. the
LCD, the Keypad and the Trackball, which are connected to the Axes
control card. This card is connected together with the Motor control card
(FMod-IPDCMOT48/1.5) to a standard/industrial Ethernet Switch (available
on the market from 30.- USD) and is used in applications such as XYZ-
Tables.
 The axes control board and the motor control boards are
connected together to an "Ethernet 10BaseT compliant Switch".
The communication between them is done through the UDP-IP
protocol.
 An optional computer (PC, Mac, ...) can be connected to the same
network (to the Ethernet 10BaseT compliant Switch) in order to
configure the parameters of the axes control card
 The same Switch used to connect the FMod-IPAXESCTRL and the
FMod-IPDCMOT48/1.5 can be connected to the Internet network
(under an ADSL modem/router or a professional Router) and
therefore make the system accessible from anywhere (remote).
Note : It is also possible to connect the FMod-IPAXESCTRL directly to an FMod-
IPxxMOT motor control card through a simple Ethernet Cross Cable (not using
the switch). In this case, the system will only be able to control one (1)
motor/axis.
