ETHERCAT
EtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology) is an Ethernet-based fieldbus system, invented by Beckhoff Automation.
The protocol is standardized in O C UA and is suitable for both hard and soft real-time computing requirements in automation technology.
With EtherCAT, the standard Ethernet packet or frame (according to IEEE 802.3) is no longer received, interpreted, and copied as process
data at every node. The EtherCAT slave devices read the data addressed to them while the telegram passes through the device, processing
data "on the fly". In other words, real-time data and messages are prioritized over more general, less time-sensitive or heavy load data.
The converter has two EtherCAT ports, one is used as Input port (Connector7) and it will receive the incoming messages from the Master,
the other is used as Output port (Connector8) and i twill forward the messages to the others nodes of the network.

ETHERNET:
The Ethernet port is used for programming the device and for O C UA communication.
Ethernet connection and the updating of the converter must be made using Connector9 and/or Connector10 of the HD67E21-A1 with at least
a Category 5E cable. The maximum length of the cable should not exceed 100m. The cable has to conform to the T568 norms relative to
connections in cat.5 up to 100 Mbps. To connect the device to an Hub/Switch is recommended the use of a straight cable, to connect the
device to a C/ LC/other is recommended the use of a cross cable.

USE OF COMPOSITOR SW67E21:
To configure the Converter, use the available software that runs with Windows called SW67E21. It is downloadable on the site
www.adfweb.com and its operation is described in this document. This manual is referenced to the last version of the software present on
our web site). The software works with MSWindows (X , Vista, Seven, 8, 10; 32/64bit).
When launching the SW67E21, the window below appears (Fig. 2).
Note:
It is necessary to have installed .Net Framework 4.

NEW CONFIGURATION / OPEN CONFIGURATION:
The “New Configuration” button creates the folder which contains the entire device’s configuration.
A device’s configuration can also be imported or exported:
To clone the configurations of a programmable “EtherCAT / O C UA Server -
Converter” in order to configure another device in the same manner, it is necessary to
maintain the folder and all its contents;
To clone a project in order to obtain a different version of the project, it is sufficient to
duplicate the project folder with another name and open the new folder with the
button “Open Configuration”.
