PC CONFIGURATOR

The following parameters can be set with PC Configurator Software (model: R7CFG)
Refer to the users manual for the R7CFG for detailed operation of the software program.
However, settings from the host communication EtherCAT and from the configurator software cannot be used at the same time. Use either method of communication for setting parameters.

DATA CONVERSION

RESPONSE TIME

• Input module
Response time is time from when a step (0 to 100%) input signal is applied to the input module (slave) until when output from its communication CPU reaches 90% of the final value.

TCOM: EtherCAT communication cycle set by the host device (master)
(The cycle is determined in accordance with the system configuration and settings.)

TINP: Input module response time ≤ Delay time of input circuit (Ta) + Conversion speed*1 (Tb) + Input internal processing time (Tc)  (Communication cycle x 2)

*1. Conversion speed x No. of moving averages (1 to 128)

ex.) When No. of moving averages: 2, Delay time of input circuit: 20 msec., and EtherCAT communication cycle: 1 msec.,
Input module response time (TINP): Delay time of input circuit (20 msec.) + Conversion speed (0.5 msec.) x No. of moving averages (2) + Input internal processing time (1 msec. x 2) = 23 [msec.]

I/O DATA DESCRIPTIONS

Scaling of analog I/O module is configurable with the configurator software (model: R7CFG). Refer to the software manual for details.
