  • Page 15 Ether1616 Outputs The “8 Relay” modules are equipped with dual color LED indicator lights for each relay. Each numbered LED indicates whether its corresponding relay is energized by the Ether1616 or not. Red = Relay is not energized, Green = Relay is energized.
  • Page 16 Ether1616 Outputs The relays on the 8 Relay Module are single pole double throw (SPDT) relays. Relays are just a switch. SPDT relays are a switch with two connections one on either side of the switch so, when the relay is ON two of the terminals are connected and when the relay is OFF the other two of the terminals are connected.

  • Page 41 Using the Ether1616 with a Custom Macro Macro Programming using M100 and M101. Commonly used in Tool Changer Programs M100 and M101 have a wide variety of uses. M100 and M101 work the same for Ether1616 Inputs and Outputs as they do for Acorn Inputs and Outputs. Just be sure to use the correct CNC12 input and output numbers for the corresponding Ether1616 input and output.
  • Page 42 Ether1616 are controlled by the Acorn PLC program. The Centroid PLC programming language is free and open source and can be edited with Notepad ++. Centroid also provides a free debug tool called the “PLC Detective”. With these tools integrators can program any Inputs or Outputs on the Acorn board or the Ether1616 to their desired functional- ity by editing the Acorn PLC program.
  • Page 43 Appendix R: Ether1616 Input and Output Response Times A test was conducted to find the response time of the Ether1616 board in various setups. A custom PLC was used that would activate outputs when an input was seen. An oscilloscope was used to measure the time difference on the rising edge of both input and output signals.

  • Page 53 Ether1616 Inputs The Ether1616 has 16 optically isolated inputs. Inputs are divided into banks of four. Each bank is configurable for various voltages and sinking or sourcing polarity. Voltage may be selected by installing the appropriate value resistor pack or SIP into a socket for each bank. Without a SIP installed, input voltage is set to 24V.
  • Page 54 For normal use with Centroid ACORN and CNC12 software, only one jumper block on A0, A1, or A2 should be used. This allows for up to three Ether1616 boards to be used with ACORN.
  • Page 55 Ether1616s could potentially be connected and use the force and invert functionality. Low Level Communication Ether1616 uses a fairly simple command format that doesn't necessarily require Centroid software to function. This section is useful for interfacing directly with Ether1616. This section may be ignored by those using CNC12 software with Ether1616.
  • Page 56 Command Descriptions Ether1616_RESPOND - This command can be broadcast on the network to find Ether1616 boards. The response from Ether1616 will be Ether1616_AT <IP>, where IP is the Ether1616's IP address. Example response: Ether1616_AT 10.168.41.3 GET_MACID - Requests the Ether1616's MAC address. Response is MACID <MAC address>, where MAC address is a globally unique 48 bit number.
  • Page 57 GET_VERSION - This returns a firmware version number. Example Response: VERSION 0161. SET_TIMEOUT <time in 1/10s> - A timer shuts off all outputs after the default 2 seconds without communication. This command can change the timeout from the default value. A value of 0 disables the timeout.
