Page 8: Product Overview
Product overview Product overview The FC1028 EtherCAT card can be used to integrate an Industrial PC as a master in an EtherCAT network. ® The card has 16 EtherCAT channels and a total of eight ix-Industrial type A connectors. Adapter cables type C9900-K921 are required to connect the EtherCAT devices. -

Pair 5 brown C9900-K921 connection cable With the help of the C9900-K921 connection cable, two RJ45 sockets (P1 and P2) are made from one x- ® Industrial plug (P3). Fig. 3: Connection cable C9900-K921, structure and PIN assignment. FC1028 Version: 1.0... -
Page 10: Commissioning
The FC1028 EtherCAT card requires a PCIe x4 slot that complies with the PCIe standard. In principle, the card can also be operated in longer slots, i.e. also in PCIe x8 or PCIe x16 slots. It is only important that the slots support four PCIe lanes. -
Page 11: Driver Note
Fig. 6: Connection example with two adapter cables of type C9900-K921. Driver note No drivers have to be installed for the operation of the FC1028 EtherCAT card. The card is ready for operation immediately after mounting. Note that the card is not displayed in the Device Manager or as a network interface under Windows, but the card can be used under TwinCAT (see: TwinCAT configuration [} 13]). - Page 12 Commissioning If you retrofit a Beckhoff Industrial PC with a FC1028, you must adjust or check the settings in the BIOS to ensure that the EtherCAT card functions properly. Without the appropriate BIOS settings the card is not ready for operation and cannot be used in TwinCAT.

Page 13: Twincat Configuration
TwinCAT configuration Scan card in TwinCAT This step shows how to scan an FC1028 EtherCAT card in TwinCAT and how to create the EtherCAT masters automatically. For the scan to be successful, active EtherCAT slaves must already be connected to the interfaces of the card. -
Page 14: Insert Ethercat Master Manually
Insert EtherCAT master manually This chapter shows how you can manually create an FC1028 EtherCAT card and its EtherCAT master if no active EtherCAT slaves are connected to the card. This is especially necessary if you already want to start with the project planning and the complete hardware configuration is not available. - Page 15 EtherCAT master and thus start the search for the EtherCAT slaves connected to it. The EtherCAT slaves are created in TwinCAT according to your hardware configuration and the cabling under the respective EtherCAT masters. FC1028 Version: 1.0...

Page 16: Use Cable Redundancy
In the example configuration the hardware is wired as EtherCAT ring. For this EtherCAT ring two EtherCAT masters of the FC1028 are occupied. This intercepts failures in the cabling beyond the C9900-K921 adapter cable. In this way, for example, a wire break between the two EtherCAT couplers has no effect on the EtherCAT communication. - Page 17 4. Click on the Adapter Reference option and then select a second EtherCAT master from the drop-down menu. ð You have successfully configured cable redundancy. The EtherCAT slaves configured for cable redundancy are displayed in the Online tab. FC1028 Version: 1.0...
- Page 18 Although the connection between the EtherCAT couplers is interrupted, the EtherCAT Terminals connected to the EK1100 EtherCAT couplers do not have a fault. If the cable connection is interrupted at the same point without cable redundancy, a fault is displayed for the terminals in the State column. Version: 1.0 FC1028...

DC tab. Example structure with FC1028 The activation of the distributed clocks is shown on a small example structure, with an FC1028 as EtherCAT master and an EK1100 EtherCAT coupler connected to it with EtherCAT Terminals, including two terminals with distributed clocks functionality. - Page 20 3. Activate further EtherCAT devices with distributed clocks support in your system as shown. 4.

Page 22: Coupling Distributed Clocks - Ethercat Master
During the EtherCAT startup and continuously afterwards, this reference clock is itself synchronized based on the TwinCAT time and is referred to as "tracking reference clock". Fig. 11: Example configuration with coupled EtherCAT masters. For more information, please visit: https://download.beckhoff.com/download/Document/io/ethercat- terminals/ethercatsystem_en.pdf Proceed as follows: Version: 1.0... - Page 23 4. Deactivate the Automatic DC Mode Selection option. 5. Activate the option DC in use in Distributed Clocks and additionally the option DC Time controlled by CCAT Time (Master Mode) All following EtherCAT masters are synchronized with this EtherCAT master. FC1028 Version: 1.0...
- Page 24 7. Repeat this setting for all further EtherCAT masters. ð Synchronization is successful when the distributed clocks devices in the lower-level systems change to OP state. In addition, the variable DevState shows the state of the distributed clock communication. Version: 1.0 FC1028...
