Extended SBusPLUS functions
This chapter describes basic information about simplified startup provided by the EtherCAT®/SBusPLUS master.
Configuration state
The configuration state allows for parameterizing, configuring, and engineering the lower-level system components in MOVISUITE®. The network is scanned cyclically.
During runtime, you can add further slaves to the network without having to restart the master.
Automatic code generation lets you integrate devices, which are already available in the network, into an IEC project and check it for functioning.
Modular startup of the system is possible.
INFORMATION
Unlike the states "pre-operational", "safe operational", and "operational", the master does not assign fixed station addresses in configuration state but assigns position addresses (AutoInc addresses).
The following table shows the ESM states of the advanced state machine with available functions:
"Init" | Configuration state | "Pre-operational" | "Safe operational" | "Operational" | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Network scan | Yes | Yes | With projected hardware configuration | With projected hardware configuration | With projected hardware configuration |
Addressing of slaves | 0 or more Increasing | 0 or more Increasing | 1001 or more Increasing | 1001 or more Increasing | 1001 or more Increasing |
Use of engineering functions and status display in MOVISUITE® | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Exchange of process data via SEW controller | No | No | No | Process inputs only | Yes |
The following figure shows the advanced state machine with the respective transition conditions between the ESM states.
