SAFETY INFORMATION 2
2.2Correct use
Correct use requires that the device is used industrially indoors without any specific cli‐
matic and atmospheric requirements. Any use outside of the areas mentioned in each

The device is an interface coupler that can be used to connect connected devices (e.g.
WLL180T) to the EtherCAT network. The relevant devices are connected via a simple
plug system on the side of the coupler.
Normally the entire system is installed on a mounting rail near the application.
The coupler supports up to 16 connected devices, which are likewise connected to one
another via the plug system.
Further properties:
EtherCAT slave
•
Configuration via CoE protocol (CANopen over EtherCAT)
•
2 Ethernet connections with transmission rate of 100 Mbaud
•
Further specifications can be found in the technical data (see "Technical data",
page 37).

6Commissioning
6.1Parameterization
The WI180C-EC can be integrated in a Beckhoff control system. An ESI file is loaded in
the system for this purpose. The ESI file for the WI180C-EC is available for download
from www.sick.de.
NOTE
All configuration information relates to controls manufactured by Beckhoff, which are
configured and diagnosed with the TwinCAT™ configuration tool.
1.Copy the ESI file in the TwinCAT™ directory into the TwinCAT\3.1\Config\IO\Ether‐
CAT folder.
2.Then restart the TwinCAT™ system manager.
3.Insert WI180C-EC into the device tree as a box.
4.For this purpose, select the WI180C-EC under SICK AG.
The WI180C-EC is shown in the device tree as box n.
5.Then switch the TwinCAT™ system manager to configuration mode.
You will be asked in sequence whether the TwinCAT system manager™ should be
switched to configuration mode, whether the data should be loaded from the I/O
device, and whether the system should be switched to Free Run operating mode.
6.Click OK or Yes in each instance.
The status display at the bottom right changes between Free Run in red and Config
Mode in blue. All object parameters can now be read out and configured on the
CoE - Online tab.
COMMISSIONING 6
6.2Switching on
1.Switch on the power supply for the device.
2.Wait approximately two seconds until the device indicates that it is ready, see "LED
status indicators", page 14.

•
power supply first.
Only operate the WI180C-EC under the specified operating conditions (see "Tech‐
•
nical data", page 37).
7.2Daily thorough check
You should carry out the following functional checks once a day:
Check the function of the LED indicators.
•

7.5Cyclic data (process data)
WI180C-EC supports both “Transmit PDOs” (WI180C-EC to control) and “Receive PDOs"
(control to WI180C-EC). The PDOs are permanently implemented in the WI180C-EC and
it is not possible to map any other objects than the predefined objects. The minimum
PDO cycle time is 1000 µs.

Subject to change without notice
7.6Acyclic data (service data)
WI180C-EC supports the “CANopen over EtherCAT” (CoE) protocol for transmission of
service data. Service data objects (SDO) form the communication channel through
which device parameters are transmitted (e.g. programming switching thresholds).
Transmission of these parameters to SDOs is acyclic (i.e. takes place just once when
starting up the network). The objects of the object library (see "Object library",
page 17) can be accessed with the SDOs.
NOTE
It is possible to access the device parameters of every connected device via SDOs. The
specific addressing for each module depends on which modules were configured in the
control software.
7.7Object library
The WI180C-EC device is structured according to the EtherCAT “Modular Device Profile”
(MDP). Objects are correspondingly available in the following address ranges:

8Diagnosis
DIAGNOSIS 8
The device transmits error states in various ways. If a connected module detects a
fault, this is transmitted in the corresponding “Error status” process datum. Details
about the detected faults can be retrieved using the “Service Data Object” 0x1F03
(diagnosis history).
In addition, the gateway status object 0xF100 will report in subindex 3 the last occurred
error. The following table shows possible errors:

9 DECOMMISSIONING
9Decommissioning
9.1Dismantling
1.Switch off the power supply for the device.
2.Disconnect the male connector of the power supply and the EtherCAT male con‐
nector.
3.Detach the mountings for the connected devices.
4.Disconnect the connected devices from the bus male connector of the device.
5.Carefully push up the device until you can tip it forwards.
9.2Disposal
6.Remove the device from the mounting rail.
At the end of its service life, the device must be disposed of correctly as waste electron‐
ics. Take the regulations in your country into account also.
