Hello,
This topic is relevent to ctrlX MOTION also but I think it starts with the I/O. For XM we can use S20-DIDO-2/1-OVS locally or on S3 bus coupler for high-resolution capturing of positions (e.g. for registration) and firing outputs (e.g. glue or camera on a web process). These modules are supported by ML_TouchProbe and MB_DigitalCamSwitchOvsType02 function blocks in the MLC. Are there oversampling modules planned for ctrlX I/O? And/or will it be possible to use S20-DIDO-2/1-OVS with the S20-EC-BK?
Beckhoff has some EtherCAT oversampling modules:

Hallo bschmidt,
the S20-DIDO-2/1 modules is supported locally on XM controller or the S20 Sercos bus coupler, only.
For ctrlX AUTOMATION there is the need for a solution within ctrlX I/O portfolio.
Best regards

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for the response. Are there any plans to fill this hole? ctrlX DRIVE also does not have a PLS function (and has only one digital output). This will be a blocker for some packaging, printing, and converting applications.
Best regards,
Brian

We plan this functions within the next development phase of ctrlX I/O. Scheduling is pending.

I am also in need of this technology. Because I require over 80 high speed outputs for glue stitching on our machines I can't leverage ethercat hardware and must use sercos.
