Mapping I/O KRC5

    Hi, my question maybe stupid. I am trying to find a way to read IO signal from KRC. I am already reading some IO, with SYS-X48 Interface Board Standart, but from I have seen - it has 16 inputs and 16 outputs that you can map. I have 32 signal, that I also want to map. I know, that previously in my company they used easycat shield for the arduino, connected somehow to KRC4. But unfortunately it is a lost knowledge. I will attach current configuration of my KRC and Bus componens. How can i output 32+ I/O, do I need some additional boards to connect to KRC?

    i would recommend to simply use bus coupler EK1100 and then add individual input and output modules as needed. this is expandable, very simple to configure and low cost.

    an EL2809 is an output module (16 DO)

    so

    EK1100 + EL2809 + EL2809+...

    ok... so it is just matter of accessing them from your PC. i guess that is what the Arduino with EtherCat shield did. this should be straight forward as all files and code are readily available:

    EtherCAT® and Arduino
    EasyCAT - AB&T

    it depends on what the intent or goal is but another option is to not have any additional hardware. just run program on a PC and have ethernet cable connecting PC and KRC....
