5.2.3 Setting the mappings for EtherCAT Terminals
Mapping
Please note that the settings for the mapping in TwinCAT (GSD file) always take precedence. Devi-
ating settings in the Beckhoff Device Manager are not considered or are overwritten.
In the Beckhoff Device Manager you can set the mapping for an EtherCAT Terminal, if this EtherCAT
Terminal supports different mappings. For the analog EL3062 EtherCAT Terminal, for example, you can
choose between Standard mapping and Compact mapping. The choice affects the size and therefore the
type of data that is available as process data (see GSD file).
Requirements:
• An EtherCAT Terminal that supports different mappings.
• The Beckhoff Device Manager was already started (see: Starting the Beckhoff Device Manager [
}
38] ).
Set the mapping for an EtherCAT Terminal as follows:
1. Click on EtherCAT , then on Master .
2. Under EtherCAT Slave Mappings all EtherCAT Terminals are displayed, which support other mappings.
3. Under EtherCAT Slave Mappings double-click on the EL3062 EtherCAT Terminal and select Standard
or Compact mapping.
ð You have successfully set the mapping for the EL3062 EtherCAT Terminal. Restart the EK3100 Bus
Coupler for the settings to take effect after reboot.
