Hello,
Is it possible to use a S20-AI6-AO2-SSI2 with CtrlX Core X3 via Ethercat?
I have seen that the S20-SSI-AO-1/1 is available in I/O Engineering device list, but not the module for 2 Axis. This module is really important for the hydraulic application.
Thanks in advance,
Fred
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hello Fred,
This module is only supported by the S20 Sercos bus coupler and locally with the embedded controller XM2x and XM42. It is not possible to use the S20 Hydraulic two Axis interface with the S20-EC-BK.
Best regards

Hey Thomas,
Thanks for the feedback.
Are there any plans to integrate the 2 axis module in the Ethercat or to have a similar IO module which contains a SSI + AI + AO for more than 1 axis (2 axis module or 4 axis module)? It's mandatory for hydraulic application.
Best regards,
Fred

Hello Fred,
yes, there will be a solution as mentioned with a combination of different modules within ctrlX I/O portfolio available, that also can be used with hydraulic applications.
Timeline will be communicated after the planning is finished.
Best regards
