Can the ATV 9xx Drive be placed directly within our Ethernet Remote IO main ring.?
Issue:
ATV 9xx placement directly within Ethernet Remote IO main ring.
Product Line:
ALTIVAR 930
Environment:
All
Cause:
Altivar Process ATV 9xx and M580 ERIO
Resolution:
Today, the status quo concerning ATV9xx and RIO is as follows:
- ATV9xx can be physically connected on ERIO ring and co-exists with other RIO devices on the ring,
- However, ATV9xx does not offer full RIO features i.e.: communication with it is not synchronized with PLC cycle and non-deterministic.
- It is configurable on the PLC side as DIO-type device.
Project on ATV9xx RIO features is ongoing but, we do not know the date, when ATV9xx will have full RIO features (such a date cannot be guaranteed today).
