ASRTU-EC16AP EtherCAT Remote Communication Module Operation Manual
As EtherCAT slave, ASRTU-EC16AP realizes the data exchange between EtherCAT master and AS series
extension modules. This chapter describes how to configure ASRTU-EC16AP by using AX-308E along
with DIADesigner-AX software. See the hardware configuration as illustrated in the following figure.

5.1 Software Introduction

DIADesigner-AX, an IEC 61131-3 programming tool for Delta's new generation motion controller (AX series)
adopts a large number of applied instructions, especially Motion library with a multilingual environment where
users can switch the interface language according to need and a user-friendly interface providing users a
convenient and efficient development environment.
For details on operation, refer to DIADesigner-AX Software Manual.
5.2 Adding ASRTU-EC16AP and Right-Side Extension
Modules
There are two methods of adding ASRTU-EC16AP and right-side extension modules to the EtherCAT master
configuration. The first method is to manually add ASRTU-EC16AP first and then extension modules. The
second method is to use the auto-scan function of the software to add ASRTU-EC16AP and its right-side
extension modules.

5.2.1 Manually Adding ASRTU-EC16AP and Right-Side Extension Modules

1. Right-click "EtherCAT_Master_SoftMotion" on the left-side list of the DIADesigner-AX software and then
