The EcoStruxure Machine Expert project LexiumPLCopenEtherNetIPExample.project provides an application example which shows how to implement a Lexium servo drive controlled via fieldbus EtherNet/IP. The application example is based on a programming framework supporting general machine control. The monitor and control functions for the Lexium drives are implemented using the PLCopen function blocks from the GMC Independent PLCopen MC
System Requirements and Limitations
The application example has been created with the components listed in the table:
|

Controller |
TM251MESE1). |

Additional devices |
oLexium 32M equipped with the communication module VW3A3616 and a compatible BSH or BMH motor oIntegrated Lexium ILA2K |

1) This example is based on the Modicon M251 Logic Controller, however, in principle, the concepts for the implementation of the Lexium drives on EtherNet/IP are the same for other EcoStruxure Machine Expert controllers. As a precondition, the controller must support the EtherNet/IP scanner and the required GMC Independent PLCopen MC library. |
