FBUS.TYPE

Description

FBUS.TYPE shows the active fieldbus type.

0 = Analog

1 = SynqNetClosedSynqNet is a digital machine control network. Built on the 100BT physical layer, SynqNet provides a synchronous real-time connection between motion controllers, servo drives, stepper drives, I/O modules, and custom devices

2 = EtherCATClosed***EtherCAT is an open, high-performance Ethernet-based fieldbus system. The development goal of EtherCAT was to apply Ethernet to automation applications which require short data update times (also called cycle times) with low communication jitter (for synchronization purposes) and low hardware costs

3 = CANopen

4 = EthernetIP

5 = Profinet

6 = sercos® III
