SGDV-OCB02A – Powerlink Network Module for Sigma-5

The SGDV-OCB02A is an add-on board, compatible with Sigma-5 series command option attachable type amplifiers SGDV – xxx x E x A.

Ethernet POWERLINK (EPL) is a communication profile for Real-Time Ethernet (RTE). It extends Ethernet according to the IEEE 802.3 standard with mechanisms to transfer data with predictable timing and precise synchronization. The communication profile meets timing demands typical for high-performance automation and motion applications. It does not change basic principles of the Fast Ethernet Standard IEEE 802.3 but extends it towards Real-Time Ethernet.

Powerlink is an open real-time Ethernet network supported by the Ethernet Powerlink Standardization Group (http://www.ethernet-powerlink.org).

The Powerlink network module offers a wide range of functions based on the ESPG DS 301 and the CiA DS 402 Drive Profile standards:

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

The Powerlink network module conforms to:

• EPSG 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
