IC754VSF12CTD

The IC754VSF12CTD enables users to seamlessly integrate additional high and low power digital and analog I/O into their systems. Users import the EtherCAT I/O configuration file into the A3200 MotionPAC PLC module, making it available to all programmers. Users then use the MotionPAC mapping tool to connect EtherCAT I/O points to tags or variables. Connections are made by dragging and dropping EtherCAT I/O names onto tags or variables defined in MotionPAC, the operator interface, or any other module of the system.MotionPAC automatically manages the memory associated with EtherCAT I/O mapping. There is no need for the programmer to allocate memory addresses. While programmers are free to view memory allocations, they can also change or create them if needed.

The real-time and high-speed capabilities of the IC754VSF12CTD enhance the software-based A3200 machine controller’s ability to meet the needs of large-scale distributed applications that require decentralized and diverse I/Os. Using this technology, the A3200 can access millions of I/O points per second while controlling machine functions, including high-end motion and other control loops such as temperature and pneumatic control. Module integration is achieved by integrating the Hueycom CIFX 50-RE card into the A3200 system and is available as an optional A3200 software driver. This new feature makes it easy to combine fieldbus I/O with drive I/O in motion and PLC programs. Combining EtherCAT I/O with the A3200 Integrated Motion and PLC creates an ideal machine controller platform that will minimize development and commissioning time while providing a high-performance solution for automation projects.
