1. Description
To configure the CC-Link IE slave, the OmniCore controller must have the option 3075-2 EtherCAT Device installed, with a maximum of 2048 digital input/ output signals.
EtherCAT Connectors:
OmniCore V series controllers:
OmniCore E series controllers:
After enabling the OmniCore E series EtherCATDevice option, WAN1 and WAN2 cannot be used for other Ethernet protocols.
2. Configuration of EtherCAT Slave
①I/O Engineering Tool
In RobotStudio under the Controller tab, select I/O Engineering. The I/O Modernization (I/O Engineering Tool) tab will then be displayed. Write permissions are required.
② Configuration of EtherCAT System
In the Configuration interface, select EtherCAT (under the I/O system).
In the Properties interface, you can configure the identification tag and whether to treat the industrial network and all connected I/O devices as analog.
③ Configuration of EtherCAT Slave
In the Configuration browser, select the slave (EC_Internal_Device).
In the Properties interface, you can configure the following:
④ Add I/O Modules
1 In the Configuration interface, expand EtherCAT and select the internal device to which the I/O module should be added.
2 Select the device catalog to view the available I/O module list. Double-click the selected module to add it.
3 The system presets IO 64 bytes, and you can right-click the module to replace or delete it.
⑤I/O Signals
In the I/O Engineering tab of the ribbon, select Signal Editor (Signal Editor).
⑥Save Project
Select I/O Project/Save Project (I/O Project/ Save Project) to save changes.
Note: If errors are detected, the I/O Project cannot be saved.
In the I/O Project menu, select one of the following options:
• Select Save Project to update the last saved project version.
• Select Save Project As to save the project file with a new project name.
⑦ Write Project
Select a controller, then click Write to write the current project to the controller.
Note: I/O Engineering automatically requests write permissions when writing the configuration to the controller. If write permissions are not granted, the configuration will not be written to the controller.
⑧Restart Controller
3. Network Settings
1 In RobotStudio select Add Controller< Connect to Controller. Request write permissions.
2 Select Configuration Communication. Select Port Usage.
3 Public Network (WAN) and I/O-Network (I/O Network) (LAN) settings refer to ABB OmniCore controller network settings.
