Powerlink converter

[Servodude]

Hello all,

Anybody having experience in using a Powerlink to Ethercat converter, enabling a ctrlX drive on a Powerlink network ?

Do you nee a componenter or could it theoretical be done with an app-solution ?

Thank you

Hi Servodude,

as a ctrlX DRIVE cannot run an app, it would need a converter.

Powerlink slave to EtherCAT Master, not sure if such converter is available on the market.

An App could run on a ctrlX CORE, but this app needs to implement a Powerlink Slave and copy the values to the EtherCAT Master app and vice versa.

Such an app neither exists nor is planned from our side.
