EtherCAT integration

Note

The following instructions and screenshots are based on Beckhoff TwinCAT and illustrate the general procedure for configuring an EtherCAT device. Many engineering tools follow the same basic principles (device scan/selection, topology and node configuration, ESI/device parameters, mapping of process data), but menu structures, terminology, and individual steps may differ. If you are using a different tool, apply the described concepts accordingly and consult the vendor-specific documentation as needed.
