Product and revision number of the EtherCAT device
Auto Inc Addr.
Auto increment address of the EtherCAT device. The auto increment address
can be used for addressing each EtherCAT device in the communication ring
through its physical position. Auto increment addressing is used during the start-
up phase when the EtherCAT master allocates addresses to the EtherCAT
devices. With auto increment addressing the first EtherCAT slave in the ring has
the address 0000
hex
. For each further slave the address is decremented by 1
(FFFF
hex
, FFFE
hex
etc.).
EtherCAT Addr.
Fixed address of an EtherCAT slave. This address is allocated by the EtherCAT
master during the start-up phase. Tick the control box to the left of the input field
in order to modify the default value.
Previous Port

possible to connect this device with another one without changing the order of
the EtherCAT devices in the communication ring, then this combination field is
activated and the EtherCAT device to which this device is to be connected can
be selected.
