Introduction
Welcome to SYBERA. In this video, you will learn about the configuration, commissioning, and simulation of a VEICHI Drive using EtherCAT and the HMI Design Box.
To begin, the VEICHI Drive is connected to EtherCAT and the initial device detection is started. The Master automatically scans all connected stations.
The ESE/ESI file of the Drive is loaded and PDO mapping is configured—this ensures that inputs and outputs are correctly mapped and cyclic data is defined.
Firmware and generic EEPROM are initialized, and Vendor ID and Product Revision are overwritten so that the simulation reacts like a real device.
Cyclic transmission of input data begins. Analog values and digital signals are correctly processed and forwarded to the HMI.
The HMI Design Box creates graphical panels—LEDs, slider controls, and motor representations—linked to the simulated Drive data. [Image of an HMI screen with motor controls and data visualization]
The entire interface is updated with real-time data. Status and control words, actual and target positions of the drives are visible and modifiable.
Conclusion: The VEICHI Drive can be fully simulated—including communication, PDO mapping, firmware behavior, and HMI. Ideal for testing, training, and preliminary commissioning without hardware.
