Procedure
Step 1
Navigate to the EtherCAT rack, select the 1S Servo Drive and click Edit PDO Map Settings:
Select Output PDO Mapping to include 0x60FE:01 (Physical outputs). This can be done by selecting the 258th receive PDO Mapping option. Alternatively, select 1st receive PDO Mapping option and then Add PDO Entry to add the physical outputs to the PDO data.
Step 2
From the Multiview Explorer, right-click on the 1S Drive under EtherCAT and select Setup and Tuning > Quick Parameter Setup and I/O Monitor > Next > Next to arrive at the Output Signals Setting. For each OUT select Remote Output 1/2/3 - Port Selection as shown below. Click Transfer to Drive to transfer the settings.
In the Multiview explorer, double-click on the parameters for the 1S drive and navigate to parameter 4602.01 Function Output - Bit Mask. Type 458752 into this parameter. This is a bit-mask that enables bit's 16-18 of the DWORD that corresponds to the physical Outputs. Transfer this setting to the drive using the options beneath the parameter tab.
Navigate to the I/O Map, and place predefined Global Variables in the Variable tab for each output:
Step 3
Write a basic ladder code example to test the physical outputs turn on as desired:
Transfer these settings to the PLC. The physical outputs of the 1S Drive can now be controlled via PLC logic.
