9.1.1 Local bus interface Ethercat of ctrlX COREPLUS X3
The local bus connected to the ctrlX COREPLUS at the right is a 100 MBit/s LVDS Ethercat bus and
the cycle time is between 2 ms and 10 ms. The ctrlX COREPLUS can be extended with up to 20
ctrlX I/O modules. The number of connectable modules depends on the total current consumption
of the ctrlX I/O modules. The ctrlX COREPLUS can provide up to 3 A for the current supply of the
modules. The ctrlX COREPLUS supplies the connected I/O modules with the logic voltage ULand the
periphery voltage UP. The voltages and currents fed in are measured internally and applied to the
process data. For UL, only the current consumption of the infeed terminal and the I/O modules. For
the integration into the parent system, the respective ESI files are available. For the ESI files, go to
⮫ http://www.boschrexroth.com/electrics.

Synchronizing the application
The application is synchronized in the "SM synchronous" mode.
EtherCAT process data
The bus coupler and the ctrlX CORE are provided with data that is inserted into the cyclic process
image. This data length is 5 words in total. According to the EtherCAT standard, this data before the
input process data is shown in the process image.
The process data words 0...3 contain the voltage and current values of UPand UL(only the current
consumption of the infeed terminal and the I/O modules) as well as their bits for the supply voltage
diagnostics. This information can also be retrieved via acyclic services using CoE. These are shown as
the indices 6000, 6010 and 6020 hex.
