SIRIUS® EtherCAT® rear side
L means Link: i.e. the In- (left L-LED) or Out-connector (right L-LED) is linked to
another slice or to the measurement PC.
D is for Data: it is active only when the data transfer is active this requires that
power is connected AND the slice is linked to another slice or a PC.
8-pin EtherCAT connectors.
The USB 2.0 Mini connector can optionally be used to increase the data throughput
of the EtherCAT® device i.e. the data can be transferred via EtherCAT® and USB at
the same time to get data rates that are not possible with EtherCAT® alone. Note:
when you use multiple slices, then DEWESoft® must be the EtherCAT® master.
Protective Ground banana plug and M4 screw insert.
4.2.2. Boxed solution
In a single box, you can have 1, 2, 3 or 4 slices, plus an optional SBOX at the bottom. The Boxed solution is
only available as USB (not EtherCAT®).
The main advantage over the Modular Solution is that all the cabling between the slices is done
internally. In a picture below, you can see that the upper 3 slices each have a CAN connector only. Their
