Generating of a PLC program with ETOOLS PLC2
The programming of the PLC function integrated in the controller is made by means of
ETOOLS PLC2. The communication with the controller can be made either via a serial point-
to-point connection between the PC and the controller or via an Ethernet connection (net-
work or local).
ETOOLS PLC/2 is based on the widespread program package CoDeSys with the specific ex-
tensions made for the ECKELMANN controllers. With CoDeSys the configuration of the con-
troller and the generation of the program in compliance with IEC 61131 can be carried out.
