lim Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 For Power Clipper, what mean of option EtherCAT with 4 servo axes and I/O? It's 4 servo axes mean that can send analog / pulse & direction outptut? Where can download the user manual of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve.milici Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 EtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology) is an Ethernet-based fieldbus system. This is an option for the Power PMAC product line which allows you to connect to EtherCAT enabled drives and I/O subsystems through standard Cat5 Ethernet cables. We do not currently have an EtherCAT drive but we do offer an EtherCAT I/O module the ACC-52ECx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lim Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Other question that Power Clipper is EtherCAT controller for control multi-axis of driver through EtherCAT communication, right? Why standard on board of Power Clipper still provide 4 axes of analog output and pulse & direction output? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Naddaf Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Yes, via EtherCAT. It is possible to control multiple axes and I/O devices. Why not still provide analog output and pulse and direction? You do not have to use them. How does that affect your application? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lim Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 HI Richard, I'm not saying that the analog output/ pulse & direction affect the application, just curious that if there is no use on it, maybe can add certain feature on standard board instead of buy option board stack on it. It's just my personal point of view. However, Where can I download the ACC-52ECx user manual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lim Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 Hi Richard, For option connect 4 axes with EtherCat interface, I have some doubt on it. EtherCat communication from delta tau to driver 1, driver 1 has two EtherCAT port and looping to other driver, even I/O devices, so why provide option 4 axes to 64 axes? What kind of application need add on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve.milici Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 The ACC-52ECx manual will be released upon the official product release in a few weeks. We will make an announcement on the Forum. The Power Clipper has only one EtherCAT port. Most EtherCAT implementations are without loopback. If you need to support this application type the Power Ether-lite would be a better choice.

lim Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 Hi Steve, for power clipper able choose option 64 axes, it's mean that maximum driver communicate EtherCAT with power clipper is 64 units? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve.milici Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 We can go higher - I believe up to 256. Our distributors do not have a price for this at this time but we can provide this on request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksambo Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 EtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology) is an Ethernet-based fieldbus system. This is an option for the Power PMAC product line which allows you to connect to EtherCAT enabled drives and I/O subsystems through standard Cat5 Ethernet cables. We do not currently have an EtherCAT drive but we do offer an EtherCAT I/O module the ACC-52ECx. Does this mean that currently the PPmac Clipper will not close the servo loop? If so, when do you anticipate this feature to be available? Also, I am not that familiar with EtherCat architecture; If you are interfacing to 4 EtherCat drives is a star connection used and if so, can a normal switch be used?

steve.milici Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 The Power Clipper can close the loop on up to 64 EtherCAT drives. The network architecture is typically an open ring but can be a closed ring (providing redundancy) or a star. Typically no switches are needed but can be used to create star branches. For technical details on the technology please refer to www.ethercat.org. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dzrong Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Is it possble to support 8 axis of power clipper? Just like acc-1p with clipper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omron Forums Support Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Yes, the ACC-24S3 is a stack board that provides an additional 4 axes with an option of 4 analog inputs and 1 filtered PWM output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dzrong Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Hello Gregs, Where can i get the manual of ACC-24S3? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve.milici Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Hello Gregs, Where can i get the manual of ACC-24S3? Thanks This will be incorporated into the Power Clipper manual as its own chapter. We will be releasing this update within the week. In the meantime the software setup for this board is the same as the base board with the exception that “Clipper[0]” references are replaced with “Clipper[1]”. The address references for analog inputs are: ADCIN_n/ Connector , Structure , Address ADCIN_1, J3 , Clipper[1].Chan[0].AdcEnc[0] , $904030 ADCIN_2, J3 , Clipper[1].Chan[0].AdcEnc[1] , $904034 ADCIN_3, J7 , Clipper[1].Chan[0].AdcEnc[2] , $904038 ADCIN_4, J7 , Clipper[1].Chan[0].AdcEnc[3] , $90403C All power is through the JEXPx connectors – no other power connections are needed. The supplied JEXPx extension connectors and standoff hardware are used as in the following diagram and picture: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve.milici Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 One added note - the latest versions have two long JEXPx extenders as some of the pins on one row are removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
