| + | ===== Create ENI file ====== | ||
| + | The exact procedure depends on the hardware and software used. The following procedure describes using Elmo drives but can be adapted to other drives: | ||
| + | |||
| + | - Use ClassA master | ||
| + | - Select a slave | ||
| + | - The EASII already has all ESI files for the Elmo Drives. If the required ESI file is not yet available: | ||
| + | - Get the ESI file from the manufacturer | ||
| + | - Import the ESI file | ||
| + | - Attach a slave to the EC master (If EC-Engineer is used by Acontis, attach the slave to the PC) | ||
| + | - The slave must be supplied with power. | ||
| + | - Scan the network | ||
| + | - The slave should be detected | ||
| + | - Test if you can read an encoder value | ||
| + | - Connect the complete EC network and scan again | ||
| + | - Define the period duration for PDOs (typically 1msec) | ||
| + | - Define all variables which are to be sent or received with the PDOs from the slaves. | ||
| + | - Export the ENI file | ||
| + | |||
| + | If one of the following properties changes, then the ENI file must be rebuilt: | ||
| + | * Topology | ||
| + | * Period duration | ||
| + | * Exchanged variables via PDO | ||
| + | |||
| + | With EC-Engineer you can switch to //Diagnosis Mode// where you can plot selected values in realtime. | ||
