SGDV-OCA01A - EtherCAT Network Module for Sigma-5

The SGDV-OCA01A is an add-on board, compatible with Sigma-5 series command option attachable type amplifiers SGDV – xxx x E x A.

It provides a real-time Ethernet interface for an EtherCAT communication network with the communication protocol CANopen (CoE = CAN over EtherCAT). The CoE interface enables the user to achieve very high-speed synchronous distributed control with a high level of reliability. CANopen is a higher-layer protocol commonly used in the automation industry. The specification of this protocol is maintained and developed by the CiA organization (www.can-cia.org).

EtherCAT is an open real-time Ethernet network supported by the EtherCAT Technology Group (http://www.ethercat.org).

The EtherCAT network module offers a wide range of functions based on the IEC 61158 Type12, IEC 61800-7 CiA 402 Drive Profile and supports the functions:

• Profile Position mode
• Homing mode
• Interpolated Position mode
• Profile Velocity mode
• Torque Profile mode
• Cyclic Sync Position mode
• Cyclic Sync Velocity mode
• Cyclic Sync Torque mode
• Communication rate of up to 100 Mbps
• 2 Standard RJ45 connectors
• 4 LEDs for status indication

The EtherCAT network module is conform to:

• EtherCAT Technology Group Specifications
• CiA Specifications
• Safety Standard UL508
• Material Compliance UL94V-0
• RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC
• WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC
• Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC
• EMC Directive 89/336/EEC
