XGB EtherCAT Setup

Use the following procedures for setting up EtherCAT motion with the XEM CPU and one or two XBF-PN04B/PN08B EtherCAT motion modules. Motion setup requires interaction between XG5000 and XG-PM software.

Note: This section is written in sequential order. The first topics explain the concepts of how motion is controlled in the PLC and software, and build up to specific procedures for various common motion applications.
