Page 8: Product Overview
Product overview Product overview The FC1428 EtherCAT card can be used to integrate an industrial PC into an EtherCAT G network as a ® master. The card has over 8 EtherCAT G channels and a total of eight ix-Industrial type A connectors. -

ZK1096-969A-0005 connection cable ® The ZK1096-969A-0005 connection cable is used to convert an x-Industrial plug (P1) into an RJ45 socket (P2). For other cable variants, see: Accessories [} 27]. Fig. 3: ZK1096-969A-0005 connection cable, structure and PIN assignment. FC1428 Version: 1.0... -
Page 10: Commissioning
The FC1428 EtherCAT card requires a PCIe x4 slot that complies with the PCIe 2.0 standard. In principle, the card can also be operated in longer slots, i.e. in PCIe x8 or PCIe x16 slots. The slots simply need to support four PCIe lanes. -
Page 11: Driver Note
If you retrofit a Beckhoff Industrial PC with a FC1428, 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 will not be ready for operation and cannot be used in TwinCAT. - Page 12 4. Disable the Memory Mapped I/O above 4 GB option. 5. Press [F4] to save the settings and exit the BIOS setup. ð The industrial PC is restarted. With these settings, the FC1428 EtherCAT card is ready for operation and can be used under TwinCAT.

Page 13: Twincat Configuration
TwinCAT configuration Scan card in TwinCAT This step shows how to scan an FC1428 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 FC1428 EtherCAT card and its EtherCAT master if no active EtherCAT slaves are connected to the card. This is particularly 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. FC1428 Version: 1.0...
-
Page 16: Use Cable Redundancy
In the example configuration the hardware is wired as an EtherCAT ring. For this EtherCAT ring, two EtherCAT masters of the FC1428 are occupied. This intercepts failures in the cabling beyond the 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. FC1428 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 FC1428...

TwinCAT by having a DC tab. Example structure with FC1428 The activation of the distributed clocks is shown in a small example structure, with an FC1428 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. Click on the EtherCAT master on the left in the tree view and then on the Advanced Settings button in the EtherCAT tab. Version: 1.0 FC1428...
- Page 21 TwinCAT configuration 5. The EL4032 EtherCAT Terminal is automatically adopted by TwinCAT as master clock or reference clock. ð This means that the distributed clocks functionality is active in this example. FC1428 Version: 1.0...

Page 22: Coupling Distributed Clocks - Ethercat Master
During the EtherCAT startup and continuously afterwards, this reference clock itself is synchronized based on the TwinCAT time and is referred to as "tracking reference clock". Fig. 10: 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 also the option DC Time controlled by CCAT Time (Master Mode) All following EtherCAT masters are synchronized with this EtherCAT master. FC1428 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 DevState variable shows the state of the distributed clock communication. Version: 1.0 FC1428...
