Automotive Industry: Body Welding Line Long-Distance Extension

Project Background: The main controller CX5140 is located in the middle of the welding workshop, needing to connect 2 robot stations and 16 I/O stations 80 meters away on both sides. The original fiber solution was costly and complicated in construction.

Topology:

CX5140 → EL Terminal Segment 1 → EK1110-0000 (End) → 80 m Cable → Robot Station 1 / I/O Station 1

CX5140 → EL Terminal Segment 2 → EK1110-0000 (End) → 80 m Cable → Robot Station 2 / I/O Station 2

主な利点:

No fiber transceiver required; cost reduced by about 40%

E-bus powered, no extra 24 V wiring for extension module

Communication delay only 1 μs, no impact on robot synchronization accuracy (±0.1 ms)

Fast fault location via Link/Activity LED; maintenance efficiency improved by 50

Result: Stable operation for 2 years without communication failure; annual maintenance cost reduced by about 20,000 人民元.

Electronics Processing: Distributed I/O Extension for SMT Production Line

Background: SMT line includes printer, placement machine and reflow oven. The original single EtherCAT segment is 120 m from main station to end placement machine, causing unstable communication and frequent I/O delay.

Topology Optimization:

Main Station (C6030) → Printer I/O → Placement Machine I/O → EK1110-0000 (End) → 100 m Cable → Reflow Oven I/O Station
