|---|---|
| User function block for interacting with IronHorse ACN series AC general purpose drive. The drive must have the ACN-ETH communication module. It contains information for controlling the drive and getting drive information over EtherNet/IP from an XEM CPU. |
|
| User function block for interacting with DURApulse GS4 series AC high performance drive. The drive must have the GS4-CM-ENETIP communication module. It contains information for controlling the drive and getting drive information over EtherNet/IP from an XEM CPU. |
|
| User function block for interacting with DURApulse GS20 series AC general purpose drive. The drive must have the GS20A-CM-ENETIP communication module. It contains information for controlling the drive and getting drive information over EtherNet/IP from an XEM CPU. |
|
| This example program contains an ADC create user function block for interacting with the NITRA pneumatic bus coupler model PAL-EIP. The function block allows the XEM CPU to control valves and read or write data to and from any NITRA PAL I/O modules. |
|
| User function block for interacting with WEG Electric CFW500 series AC high-performance drive. The drive must have the communication module model number 12892814 . It contains information for controlling the drive and getting drive information over EtherNet/IP from an XEM CPU. |
|
| User function block for interacting with the Stride IO-Link Masters. It works with model numbers SIOL-EI8B and 54631. The function block allows the XEM CPU to read IO-Link port data and write data to the ports. There are additional functions for interacting with the various Murrelektronik IO-Link hubs and Contrinex RLH RFID read-write modules. |
|
| User function block for interacting with a SureServo2 drive over EtherNet/IP. The drive must have communication module model number SV2-CM-ENETIP. The program comes with a pre-configured eds file and SureServo2 parameter file. This function block allows the XEM CPU to control and get status of the drive over EtherNet/IP. |
|
| This is an Automation Direct function block for retrieving the general and extended status of an EtherNet/IP connection. It requires: XEM CPU OS version 2.40 or later and XBL-EIPT OS version 2.40 or later. Also, requires XG5000 version 4.76 or later. |
