2.2 Installation 2.2.1 Inter-module Installation Inter-module assemblies are slide-mounted via the top and bottom rails. 2.2.2 Rail Installation DIN rail mounting is adopted here. When installing, align the module with the DIN rail and press the snap until there is a clear click sound. As shown in the figure below.
Page 14
Note: Push the rail snaps first to open state, place the module onto the DIN rail, press down the top of the snaps with your hand until it is in place. Install a DIN rail clamp at each end of the main unit or module and when install them, hook the bottom of the DIN rail clamp to the bottom of the DIN rail and then rotate the DIN rail clamp so that the top end of the DIN rail clamp is hooked to the top end of the DIN rail, and then finally tighten the screws to lock the DIN rail clamp.

4 Module Programming Example 4.1 Veichi Auto Studio with VC5 4.1.1 Create A New Project 4.1.2 Configure EtherCAT Task 4.1.3 Import the xml File Import the current latest version of VM-RTU-ECT_1.0.0.xml description file and double click to add it to the device:...
4.1.4 Slot Configuration Currently, VC5 requires slot configuration of the device first, and the configuration of the expansion modules and the order must be consistent with the physical object, otherwise an alarm will pop up to indicate that the configuration does not match what is connected.
Page 20
4.1.5 IO Mapping VC5 default setting is no mapping, so it is necessary to map the registers that will be controlled and monitored to the soft components before actual use, otherwise users can’t operate on them. 4.1.6 Set Parameters 1. stopmode: failure stop output mode (index number in EtherCAT application: 0x8001+0x40*slot number), each channel corresponds to 1 bit respectively, 0 is hold, 1 is preset value corresponding to output stopvalue.

4.2.2 Create A New TwinCAT Project Open the TwinCAT software to create a new TwinCAT project, connect the VM-RTU-ECT to the VM-0008ETP and power up and connect it to the Ethernet interface of the PC. 4.2.3 Scan the Devices Ensure that the VM-RTU-ECT and VM-0008ETP are connected for device scanning, and follow...
Page 23
Note: A new installation of TwinCAT software requires the installation of the real-time NIC driver before this step. 4.2.4 IO Monitoring and Commissioning As shown in the figure below, scan to a 0008ETP expansion module under the device VM-RTU- ECT coupler for IO monitoring and debugging its input and output.
