Settings for EtherCAT
You can specify all the settings via your EtherCAT configuration tool.
To configure the ClipX, the EtherCAT master can either use the ESI file or –
without an ESI file – download the object dictionary via the EtherCAT connection
(device scan).
By default, no PDOs are assigned. You must make the PDO assignment your-
self. Then activate the download in the master so that the assignment is trans-
ferred to the ClipX.
SAFE-OPERATIONAL
The ClipX has no safe output state. On the transition from OPERATIONAL to
SAFE-OPERATIONAL, the EtherCAT-controlled outputs retain their instanta-
neous value, and are no longer updated in SAFE-OPERATIONAL.
Hot-Plug
To use the hot-plug capability, assign the Hot-Connect slaves a "Station Alias"
(also termed "Second Address") in the master. Then start EtherCAT with all Hot-
Connect slaves.
You can now disconnect and reconnect all Hot-Connect slaves in live operation.
In TwinCAT mark the slaves in question explicitly as "Hot-Connect-
Slave" with the addressing method "Station Alias" (or "Second
Address"), not "Input Word". Then activate the configuration.
You can download a default EtherCAT XML file via your web browser's Device
Storage menu or from the HBM website: https://www.hbm.com/ClipX.
