AH Motion Controller – Hardware Manual 5. On-line editing mode When the system runs, users can make use of the on-line editing mode to update the program without affecting the operation of the system. 1.1.2. Overview of the System Configurations _1 The two categories of system configurations of AH Motion series motion control CPU are as follows. Basic System Configurations The AH Motion series CPU basic configurations include the AH Motion CPU Network Configuration , AH500 Series Module Configuration , and Supported Software .
AH Motion Network Configuration - AHxxEMC-5A You can use the EtherCAT master port built in on the CPU interface to connect to slave devices such as analog and digital I/O, servo drives, AC motor drives and encoder input devices. With EtherCAT network configuration, you can design a system capable of performing very accurate sequence and motion control in a fixed cycle. AH500 Series Module Configuration With the motion backpl ane, you can also ad d AH500 series I/O modules* in addition to the EtherCAT network. AH500 series modules can be installed directly to the motion backplane where the CPU module is mounted. *Note:
a fe w of AH500 ser ies I/O modules are not supported by the motion bac kplane. Refer to Ch2 System Configuration for the list of supported products. Supported Software ISPSoft is the major programming software that you use for an AH Motion series motion controller. You can connect the software on the computer to the USB interface on the CPU module through a commercially available USB cable. You can also connect ISPSoft to the Ethernet port on the CPU module with an Ethernet cable or to the built-in RS-485 port on the Motion backplane with a RS -485 cable and a conv erting device, e.g. IF D6500 USB/RS-485 converter.
In additio n to ISPSoft, you can also use other software for configuring various applications based on different networks. 1-6
