ESEPRO

Productomschrijving

It interfaces via the CAN bus with the Woodward controls and is easy to configure using standard Profibus configuration tools like Simatic Manager. A single ESEPRO added to the CAN network will make all Visualization Data of connected Woodward CANopen controls available without adding additional load to the CAN bus communication. The Visualization Data is buffered in the ESEPRO gateway which decouples Profibus’ cyclic process I/O from the CANopen cyclic TPDO transfers.

The ESEPRO appears as a modular I/O module in the Profibus configuration tool. The ESEPRO offers three different methods to map data into the PLC’s process I/O image to suit different application requirements and programming styles. Visualization Data of connected easYgen and LS-5 devices can be mapped directly into the PLC’s process image. For larger data tables which exceed the Profibus I/O space, an indexed mapping similar to the Profidrive standard can be used. Alternatively access to larger data tables via acyclic DP-V1 transfers is also possible. In addition, read and write access to the easYgen’s device Parameter IDs is possible which are internally translated to CANopen SDO transfers.
