Introduction
This document describes the usage of an EPL Gateway. The EPL Gateway includes several fea-
tures and enables to analyze and configure an EPL network. Deutschmann Automation´s EPL
Gateway supports the following tools:
EPL Device Monitor
Our application tool partner writes this tool like "EPL-REport". For the EPL network configuration
CANopen mechanisms are used. So every CN (Control Node) has an object dictionary, which
can be accessed over the SDO (Service Data Object) communication. The Device Monitor only
needs an EDS file from the linked device to access its object dictionary. It also provides a graph-
ical PDO mapping and allows observing several objects with polling.
EPL-REport
"EPL-REport" allows analyzing of several timings (cycle time, CN response times, …) and PDO
payloads. Main feature is an overview about actual cycle with graphical schematic about all
frames with exact times in microseconds. All timings can be analyzed over a graph view and a
maximum / minimum view. For additional information please contact us.
