Equipment Identification For Bus Coupler; Bus Coupler Rating Plate; Plc Configuration Key For The I/O Zone; Plc Configuration Key - Emerson AVENTICS EtherCAT Descripción De Sistema

The identification key (1) on the top of the AES series bus coupler for EtherCAT is
AES-D-BC-ECAT or AES-D-BC-ECAT-GEN2 and describes the unit's main character-
istics.

12.3.4 Equipment identification for bus coupler

The bus coupler requires a unique ID to enable the clear identification of the unit
within the system. The two equipment identification fields (4) on the top and
front of the bus coupler are available for this purpose.
Label the two fields as shown in your system diagram.

12.4 PLC configuration key

12.4.1 PLC configuration key for the valve zone

The PLC configuration key for the valve zone (59) is printed on the right end
plate.
The PLC configuration key specifies the sequence and type of electrical compo-
nents based on a numerical/alphabetical code. The PLC configuration key con-
sists solely of numbers, letters, and dashes. There are no spaces between the val-
ues.
In general:
• Numbers and letters refer to the electrical components.

• Each digit corresponds to one valve driver board. The number's value refers to
the number of valve positions for a valve driver board.
• Letters refer to special modules that are relevant to the PLC configuration.
• "–" visualizes a pneumatic supply plate without UA-OFF monitoring board;
not relevant to the PLC configuration
The sequence begins on the right side of the bus coupler and ends at the right
end of the valve system.
The elements that can be represented in a PLC configuration key are shown in Ta-
ble 17.

Example of a PLC configuration key: 423–4M4U43.
The transition plate and the pneumatic supply plate at the start of the
valve system, as well as the right end plate, are not included in the PLC
configuration key.

12.4.2 PLC configuration key for the I/O zone

60
The PLC configuration key for the I/O zone (60) is module-related. It is printed on
the top of the device.
The sequence of I/O modules starts on the left side of the bus coupler and ends
on the left end of the I/O zone.
The PLC configuration key encodes the following data:
• Number of channels
• Function
• Connector
