Overview

The EtherCAT Flexslice System is designed to let you do more!
It offers fast modular, scalable and flexible expansion for motion applications and can be used with Trio or 3rd Party Masters.

An advantage of the I/O slice approach compared to a traditional PLC for analogue and stepper integration is a saving on footprint and cost, combined with our motion-first specialisation.

Flexslice EtherCAT I-O system offers all of this, but with focus on a motion-first solutions engineering. Flexslices include stepper + servo axes slices, as well as digital, analogue and sensor input slices, and combined with the powerful 64 axes Flex-6 Nano machine controller delivers a motion performance advantage.

Flexslice

  • I/O functions tightly synchronised to motion using EtherCAT distributed clocks.
  • Automatic mapping to the Motion Coordinator I/O system.
  • DIN rail mounted.

  • User labelling facility
  • Machine builder custom functionality options

Easy to Use

Flexslice

To help with identification of each Flexslice modules' function, a handy removable tab is provided that can be written on. It simply slides in and out of a slot at the top of each module.

Robust

Flexslice

The robust metal chassis provides a good earth from the pcb of each module to the DIN rail to reduce noise and dissipate heat.

Practical

Flexslice

The easy to use push-in terminals makes wiring of the Flexslice system quick.

Customisation

The field programmable FPGA allows customisation of the functionality of some Flexslice Modules using Motion Perfect. The program can be "locked-down" creating a unique function for a machine builder which protects the functionality from being copied.

Flexslice

Build the System

Flexslice

The positive "click-to-lock" mechanism firmly clamps Flexslice modules to each other to form a Flexslice station. Simply push each module together and slide the quick release locks into position.

Coupler

P366

The Flexslice system begins with the coupler.
The coupler is connected to the network via the upper Ethernet interface. The lower RJ45 socket may be used to connect further EtherCAT devices in the same strand.

The bus coupler supports up to 16 input/output modules which have a positive mechanical lock and bus connector, making a reliable EBUS connection through the backplane. The complete assembly can be DIN rail mounted. The coupler converts the passing telegrams from Ethernet 100BASE-T to EBUS signal format.

P366

In the EtherCAT network, the P366 coupler can be installed in any position in the Ethernet string; making it suitable for operation close to the master or at a remote position.

Power Connect Modules

P362

The P362 Flexslice Power Connect Module simplifies connection of three-wire sensors into the I/O system and removes the footprint and cost required for additional terminals. Easy wiring and multiple push-fit connections also make installation quicker and simpler.

The pins of the 2 x single-row push-in connectors (Power Connector 1 and Power Connector 2) are joined together to form 2 isolated banks of commoned connections. With 0V connected to the lower connector and 24V to the upper connector, the LED gives an indication that power is on.

NEW RELEASE

October - 2020

Thermocouple Module

P367

The P367 Flexslice Thermocouple module has 4 thermocouple inputs, each digitised to a resolution of 16 bit ensuring flexibility in meeting the needs of a range of applications for temperature measurement such as the monitoring of hot melt glue in sealing applications.

The P367 clicks-in to our P366 EtherCAT Flexslice I/O coupler as well as our pocket-sized 64 axis Flex-6 Nano Motion Coordinator. The slice joins a wide range of existing I/O that facilitates numerous digital and analogue integration options.

OEMs can deploy centralised as well as decentralised control of up to 128 axes with our motion-first machine solution. Our distributed I/O allows local connection to sensors and actuators while maintaining real-time performance over EtherCAT.

The 4 thermocouple inputs are brought out to a single row push-in connector. A second single row push-in connector has 4 relay outputs for control of a heater or other switched load.

COMING SOON

Analogue 2 Servo Axes

P374

Our new P374 2 Axis Servo slice will click-in to our EtherCAT Flexslice I/O range as well as the 64 axis Flex-6 Nano Motion Coordinator. The slice will enable integration of non-EtherCAT servo drives, stepper drives and encoders.

An advantage of the I/O slice approach compared to a traditional PLC for analogue and stepper integration is a saving on footprint and cost, combined with our motion-first specialisation.

It supports incremental encoder inputs. If configured for stepper / pulse output an axis can be pulse+direction or quadrature simulated encoder output. Two 20 way MDR connectors (Axis 0 and 1) provide a reliable shielded connection for high speed signals. Each MDR connector supports all the signals for full closed loop control of a servo axis.
