EoE Overview
EoE = Ethernet over EtherCAT
This allows communication between Workbench (installed on the EtherCAT master PC) and the AKD using Telnet communication over the EtherCAT network. It allows connecting to the…
This application note details how to pass values via Workbench terminal, Hyper terminal, or some other method
( i.e. high level programming language, etc. ) via Telnet commands.
This application note provides a basic overview of the Telnet and Modbus TCP communication protocols. Telnet is demonstrated using Hyperterminal.
Where to find resources and information on both Telenet and Modbus TCP are given.
Attached is an example Visual Basic Telnet communications program to talk to the AKD. No warranties or support but this program is so simple, I'm not sure it needs much support.
Normally, the Workbench software is used to connect to and configure the AKD drives. However, there may be some instances where Workbench can't be used or where another communication method is preferred for troubleshooting purposes, etc. …
