3.2.3 Communication Ports
AHxxEMC-5A
AHxxEMC is equipped with a mini USB port and an Ethernet port and an EtherCAT port.
Mini USB: A mini USB port can function as a slave station. You can download or upload a program through a mini USB
port. The communication protocols supported by the mini USB port are MODBUS ASCII and MODBUS RTU
(RS-232).
Ethernet: The Ethernet port supports communication protocol MODBUS TCP and EtherNet/IP adapter.
MODBUS TCP
The Ethernet port on AH Motion CPU can exchange data with a device with Ethernet interface, e.g. AH500
series PLCs, through a common Ethernet cable.
- Can be connected to ISPSoft. A program can be uploaded/downloaded and monitored.
- Can also function as a standard MODBUS TCP slave.
EtherNet/IP adapter
The Ethernet port on AH Motion CPU can be connected by an EtherNet/IP scanner and perform data exchange
through a common Ethernet cable.
- Can be connected to EtherNet/IP scanner through I/O connection.
- Can be connected to EtherNet/IP scanner through CIP Message.
EtherCAT: An EtherCAT port can be used to perform motion control function based on EtherCAT communications.
