Connecting bus systems The EZ-LINK connection is designed to allow bus
connections, apart from I/O expansions. Special bus
connection devices are available for the bus systems in use.
At present, EZ700 can communicate with the following bus
systems or networks:
• AS-Interface (Actuator-Sensor Interface)
• PROFIBUS-DP
• CANopen
• DeviceNet
The different bus systems offer different functions.
The following applies:
• As a minimum data exchange, the input data R1 to R16 and
output data S1 to S8 can be exchanged, provided that the
bus system supports this.
• If the bus system or bus gateway is capable of this, function
block, date, time parameters can be read and written via the
bus. The states of inputs, outputs, markers can be read.
J
Only one device (expansion device or bus connection) can
be connected to the EZ-LINK connection.
J
The range and the functions of the bus gateways are being
continually further developed.
The current Eaton product line catalog and the Internet
online catalog contain those bus gateways that are
currently available.
