SIRIUSe                         


Due to EtherCAT limitation, up to 8 counters per SIRIUSe device can be used at the same time.


Eight counters can be used at the maximum sample rate of 5 kHz.


Four counters with maximum sample rate of 10 kHz.  


And only two counters can be used at 20 kHz sample rate. 


It is not recommendable to use multiple SIRIUSe slices with counter on the same EtherCAT chain. 


The limitation is the same for the SIRIUSe-HS slice, even though the device have a higher possible sample rate. When the counter is connected to the device, the device is behaving just like a normal EtherCAT (not HS) device. 




Krypton 1xCNT                    


Up to 40 Krypton 1xCNT can be chained to one EtherCAT chain with full 20 kHz Sample rate.

More CNT channels could be chained to one EtherCAT chain but not with 20 kHz sample rate.


Additional Krypton devices can be added to the 40 chained CNT channels but that results that all devices in chain must work with reduced sample rate. (for informations about exact system configurations contact our support team) 




IOLITE 4xCNT                 


Up to 8 devices chained in one EtherCAT chain are capable to run on full sample rate of 20 kHz.

For example 5x IOLITE 6xSTG + 3x IOLITE 4xCNT can run on 20 kHz in one EtherCAT chain.
