Configuring Axes and Servos for the XGB PLC and iX7 drives over EtherCAT - from AutomationDirect

How to use Beckhoff EK1100 with PLC XGB ? or how to configure PLC XGB with EK1100?

[@automationdirect]

@wadib3eed7 Unfortunately, the XGB PLC only works with EtherCAT axis devices, like servos or steppers. It doesn't support general EtherCAT slaves for things like remote I/O (like the EK1100). Keep your eyes out for new product releases coming up by subscribing and we might eventually have something that would work with that hardware.

XGB CPU XBM-DN32HP , Can you create an electronic cam curve or library for a fly cutting/fly saw application?

@qk-techsmartautomationsolu3552 Unfortunately, we don't sell or support the X *_B_* M-DN32HP CPU from LS Electric, so I am not sure if it has that capability. It is possible with the X *_E_* M-DN32HP however which we do sell and support.

@@automationdirect do you sell function block electric cam? or plc

[@automationdirect]

Unfortunately, we do not at this time. The XGB can do it with a separate program, and we have other PLCs that do it in ladder, but nothing in function block programming.
