How can I get more detailed information about this product?
For more detailed information about this product, download the latest user manual.
What is an EtherCAT SubDevice Information (ESI) file and how is it used?
Every EtherCAT SubDevice information (ESI) file contains the configuration data of an EtherCAT SubDevice module. Various EtherCAT communication settings can be defined from the ESI files of connected SubDevice units as well as the network connection information. ESI files are saved to the configuration tool to provide network configuration data. Subsequently, the network configuration data can be downloaded to the EtherCAT MainDevice unit for configuring an EtherCAT network.
How can the AMAX-4817/4820 ESI file be obtained?
The AMAX-4817/4820 ESI file can be downloaded.
How do I install the AMAX-4817/4820 modules?
1. Obtain the AMAX-4817/4820 user manual and ESI file.
2. Import the ESI file to create an EtherCAT network information (ENI) file using either:
(1) Advantech Common Motion Utility (with a PCI-1203 EtherCAT MainDevice card)
(2) Other EtherCAT MainDevice software, such as TwinCAT or Acontis
3. Use the MainDevice utility to test AMAX-4817/4820 modules.
How is the SubDevice ID set using the rotary switches on AMAX-4817/4820 modules?
AMAX-4817/4820 modules use two hexadecimal rotary switches to represent the SubDevice ID (range: 0 ~ 255).
The switches are labeled X16 and X1.
For example, if a user arranges the rotary switches following the sequence “4, F”, the SubDevice ID will be set as “4 x 16 + F x 1= 79”.
How is the analog input configured for AMAX-4817-B2 modules using SW2-SW8 switches?
Only for AMAX-4817-B2. SW2~SW8 are used to hardware configure the analog input as voltage measurement (0 ~ 10 V, ±10 V) or current measurement (0~20 mA, ±20 mA). The default setting is voltage measurement.
The input configuration switch can be set to Voltage or Current.
How can the analog input configuration be changed via software for AMAX-4817-B2?
Otherwise, please change the software configuration 0x218n:01 (n from 0 to 7 refer to ch.0 to ch.7), 0 for ±10 V / ±20 mA, 1 for 0~10V/0~20 mA.
How is power supplied to the AMAX-4817/4820 modules, and what is the power redundancy feature?
AMAX-4817/4820 modules feature two power input terminals, an input power range of +10 to +30 VDC, and power redundancy support. For modules connected to two power input sources, if one source is inactive or interrupted, the other power source can take over immediately. The AMAX-4817/4820 modules can operate with only a single power source.
How does the Power Indicator LED show the system state?
| Indicator State | System State | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Off | Power off | The system is not on / power is off. |
| On | Power on | The system is on / power is on. |
How does the Run Indicator LED show the SubDevice state and condition?
| Indicator State | SubDevice State | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Off | Initialization | The device is in the Initialization state. |
| Blinking | Pre-Operational | The device is in the Pre-Operational state. |
| Single flash | Safe Operational | The device is in the Safe Operational state. |
| On | Operational | The device is in the Operational state. |
| Flickering | Bootstrap | The device is booting and has not yet entered the Initialization state/the device is in the Bootstrap state / a firmware download is in progress. |
What do the different states of the Error Indicator LED signify?
| Indicator State | Error Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Off | No error | The device is in working condition. |
| Blinking | Invalid configuration | General configuration error. |
| Single flash | Local error | A SubDevice application has changed the EtherCAT state autonomously due to local error / the error indicator bit is set to 1 in the AL Status register. |
| Double flash | Watchdog timeout | An application watchdog timeout has occurred. |
How does the Link Indicator on the RJ-45 port show network activity?
| Indicator State | Link | Activity | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| On | Yes | No | Port open/connected |
| Flickering | Yes | Yes | Port open/connected |
| Off | No | Not applicable | Port closed/disconnected |
How are differential analog inputs connected to the AMAX-4817?
The AMAX-4817 provides eight differential analog input channels. For connection, an external signal source is connected to the Al+ and Al- terminals of a channel.
How are single-ended analog outputs connected from the AMAX-4820?
The AMAX-4820 provides four single-ended analog output channels. The analog output (AO) and ground (GND) terminals are used to connect to an external load.
