The latest firmware is included in the ATS Configuration Studio EtherCAT Firmware (January 15, 2024) - Download and extract the EtherCAT firmware file to update firmware over EtherCAT via the FoE service.
Network Implements the EtherCAT Semiconductor Device Profile Part 3000 Specific Device Profile: Chiller (ETG.5003.3000). Dual RJ-45 ports with embedded IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet switch supports star, daisy-chain, and redundant ring topologies. Shielded RJ-45 connectors accept standard CAT5-type 8-conductor unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) patch cables. MDI/MDI-X auto-crossover allows the use of any combination of straight-through and cross-over Ethernet cables.
Graphical User Interface The Configuration Studio software reduces the user's learning curve. Easily discover, configure, and update units via USB.
USB USB 2.0 port with mini-B connector provides composite USB device functionality. USB connection allows for product identification, configuration, and firmware updating. Enumerates as a standard USB mass storage device ("flash drive") for configuration and web page customization.
Field-Upgradeable As new firmware becomes available, the unit can be upgraded in the field by the end-user.
Network Timeout Action A configurable network timeout action can be programmed that allows each database location to have its own unique "fail-safe" conditions in the event of a network interruption.
Indicators 1 bicolor red/green module status LED (Run). 1 bicolor red/green network status LED (Error). RJ-45 jacks with built-in link/activity LED. RS-485 LEDS for transmit (green) and receive (red).
