  • Page 32 Only use industrial microSD cards provided by Beckhoff. The microSD card slot is intended for a microSD card. Data or additional programs can be stored here. The eject mechanism is based on the push/push principle.
  • Page 33 Commissioning Changing the microSD card 1. Press lightly on the microSD card. The card is unlocked with a soft click. 2. The card protrudes approx. 2-3 mm from the housing. 3. Push the new microSD card into the card slot with the contacts at the front. The contacts face to the right.
  • Page 34 A CFast card is a non-volatile memory. Data to be retained in the event of a power failure should be saved on the CFast card. The CFast cards supplied by Beckhoff are industrial cards with an increased number of write cycles and an extended temperature range (+85 °C).
  • Page 35 Commissioning 6.1.5 Installing passive EtherCAT Terminals Incorrectly installed passive EtherCAT Terminals The E-bus signal between an Embedded PC and the EtherCAT Terminals can be impaired due to incorrectly installed passive EtherCAT Terminals. Passive EtherCAT Terminals should not be installed directly on the power supply unit. EtherCAT Terminals that do not take part in active data exchange are referred to as passive terminals.
  • Page 36 Commissioning Power supply NOTICE Damage to the Embedded PCs The Embedded PCs may be damaged during wiring. • The cables for the power supply should only be connected in de-energized state. The power supply terminals require an external voltage source, which provides 24 V DC (-15% / +20%). The power supply terminal must provide 4 A at 24 V, in order to ensure the operation of the Embedded PCs in all situations.
  • Page 37 Commissioning 6.2.1 Connect Embedded PC The cables of an external voltage source are connected to spring-loaded terminals on the power supply terminal. Observe the required conductor cross-sections and stripping lengths. Table 25: Required wire cross-sections and strip lengths. Conductor cross-section 0.5 ... 2.5 mm AWG 20 ...

  • Page 42 Configuration 7.2.2 Searching for target systems Before you can work with the devices, you must connect your local computer to the target device. Then you can search for devices with the help of the IP address or the host name. The local PC and the target devices must be connected to the same network or directly to each other via an Ethernet cable.
  • Page 43 Configuration Enter the user name and password for the CX in the User Name and Password fields and click OK. The following information is set as standard in CX devices: User name: Administrator Password: 1 6. If you do not wish to search for any further devices, click on Close to close the Add Route Dialog. The new device is displayed in the Choose Target System window.
  • Page 44 Configuration 7.2.3 Scanning an Embedded PC This step shows how to scan an Embedded PC in TwinCAT and then further configure it. Prerequisites for this step: • Selected target device. Add the Embedded PC as follows: 1. Start TwinCAT and open an empty project. 2.
  • Page 45 Configuration 7.2.4 Configuring EtherCAT cable redundancy. The embedded PC has two independent Ethernet interfaces, which can be used for EtherCAT cable redundancy. Cable redundancy offers resilience for the cabling. Interruptions of the EtherCAT communication due to wire break or unplugged LAN cables are avoided. Interference at the individual terminals is not intercepted by the cable redundancy.
  • Page 46 Configuration 2. Click on the EtherCAT tab, then Advanced Settings. 3. Click on Redundancy in the structure tree on the left. 4. Click the Second Adapter option and then the Search button. 5. Select the appropriate LAN connection according to your cabling at the embedded PC. 6.
  • Page 47 Configuration Although the connection between the Bus Couplers is interrupted, the EtherCAT Terminals connected to the EK1100 Bus Coupler 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.
  • Page 48 Configuration 7.2.5 Using a hardware watchdog The function block FB_PcWatchdog_BAPI activates a hardware watchdog on the Embedded PC. The watchdog can be used to automatically restart systems that have entered an infinite loop or where the PLC has stopped. The watchdog is activated with bExecute = TRUE and nWatchdogTimeS >= 1s. Once the watchdog has been activated, the function block must be called cyclically and at shorter intervals than nWatchdogTimeS, because the Embedded PC automatically restarts if the set time is less than nWatchdogTimeS.
  • Page 49 1-second UPS (persistent variables) 1-second UPS (persistent variables) Loss of data Use only TwinCAT to control the 1-second UPS and save only persistent data with a maximum size of 1 MB. Use beyond this may result in data loss or corrupt data. The 1-second UPS is an UltraCap capacitor that continues to supply the processor with power in the event of a power failure.
  • Page 50 Always call the function block from the PLC and always use the fastest task to do so. In the case of a power failure Beckhoff recommends not calling the rest of the application in order to ensure that sufficient time remains for writing the data.

  • Page 53 1-second UPS (persistent variables) FB_S_UPS_BAPI NOTICE Loss of data If other applications or the PLC keep further files open or write to them, file errors may occur if the 1-second UPS switches off the controller. The function block FB_S_UPS_BAPI can be used on devices with 1-second UPS and with BIOS-API from version v1.15, in order to control the 1-second UPS from the PLC.
