With EtherCAT network configuration, you can design asystem capable of performing very accurate sequence and motion control in a fixed cycle.AH500 Series Module ConfigurationWith the motion backplane, you can also add AH500 series I/O modules* in addition to the EtherCAT network. AH500series modules can be installed directly to the motion backplane where the CPU module is mounted.*Note: a few of AH500 series I/O modules are not supported by the motion backplane. Refer to Ch2 SystemConfiguration for the list of supported products.Supported SoftwareISPSoft is the major programming software that you use for an AH Motion Controller series. You can connect the softwareon the computer to the USB interface on the CPU module through a commercially available USB cable. You can alsoconnect ISPSoft to the Ethernet port on the CPU module with an Ethernet cable or to the built-in RS-485 port on theMotion backplane with a RS-485 cable and a converting device, e.g. IFD6500 USB/RS-485 converter. In addition toISPSoft, you can also use other software for configuring various applications based on different networks.Su pport SoftwareISPSoftUSB(RS-23 2)LAN or Ether Net/IPA H Motion C PUA H I/O m odule sC PUR ac kP ow erS upplyB ullt-In E therN et/IP por tBullt-In Ethe rCAT p ortServ o d rive s/e ncode rinput s la ves Gene ral-pur pose s lave sEthe rCATCPUAH MotionNetwor kConfigurationAH500 Series Mod uleConfigu ration
