Commissioning/configuration of IO-Link master/device
EPI3xxx, ERI3xxx

Version: 1.2
Fig. 29: Update Device Descriptions
The following conditions must be met before a configuration can be set up:
• the real EtherCAT and IO-Link hardware (devices, couplers, drives) must be present and installed
• the master/devices must be connected via EtherCAT cables and IO-Link cables in the same way as
they are intended to be used later
• the devices/modules be connected to the power supply and ready for communication
• TwinCAT must be in CONFIG mode on the target system.
The online scan process consists of:
• detecting the EtherCAT device (Ethernet Port at the IPC)
• detecting the connected EtherCAT devices. This step can be carried out independent of the preceding
step.
• troubleshooting
The scan with existing configuration can also be carried out for comparison.
Detecting/scanning of the EtherCAT device
The online device search can be used if the TwinCAT system is in CONFIG mode (blue TwinCAT icon or
blue indication in the System Manager).
