Connection architecture (Ethernet)
The scheme underneath is showing the connection diagram of
the FMod-IPAXESCTRL board. The user interacts with the
MMI (Man Machine Interface), e.g. the LCD, the Keypad and
the Trackball; connected to the Axes control card. This card is
connected together with the Motor control cards (FMod-
IPDCMOT48/1.5) to a standard/industrial Ethernet Switch
(available on the market from 30.- USD) and be used in
applications like XYZ-Tables, as an example.
•
The axes control board and the motor control boards are
connected together to an “Ethernet 10BaseT compliant
Switch”
, the communication between them is done through
the UDP-IP protocol.
•
An optional computer (PC, Mac, …) can be connected to the
same network (to the Ethernet 10BaseT compliant Switch) in
order to
configure the parameters
of the axes control card
•
The same Switch used to connect the FMod-IPAXESCTRL and
the FMod-IPDCMOT48/1.5 can be connected to the Internet
network (under an ADSL modem/router or a professional
Router) and therefore the system will become
accessible from
everywhere (remote)
.
Note :
It is also possible to connect directly the FMod-IPAXESCTRL to one FMod-
IPDCMOT48/1.5 motor control card through a simple Ethernet Cross Cable (not using
the switch). In this case the system will only be able to control one (1) motor/axis.
