The Terminal enables within an EtherCAT Terminal network the integration of any CANopen devices and can either be master (EL6751) or slave (EL6751-0010). In addition, general CAN messages can be sent or received – without having to bother with CAN frames in the applications program. The terminal has a powerful protocol implementation with many features:All CANopen PDO communication types are supported: event driven, time driven (using an event timer), synchronous, polling.synchronization with the PC controller’s task cycleSYNC cycle with quartz precision for drive synchronization, zero cumulative jitterparameter communication (SDO) at start-up and when runningemergency message handling, guarding and heartbeatpowerful parameter and diagnostics interfacesonline bus load displayLike the FC5101 CANopen PCI card, the EL6751 can be used for connection to CANopen networks. The terminal, however, enables a more space-saving implementation since no PCI slots are required in the Industrial PC.
