Configuring SmartWire-DT Coordinator
9.2.1 Overview
Being the master device in the SmartWire-DT network, the EU5C-SWD-
ETHERCAT gateway serves as a so-called “Coordinator” controlling the
data transfer procedure within the SmartWire-DT network in accordance
with the SmartWire-DT protocol. Via the Coordinator, you can configure the
following properties:
the Baud rate of the SmartWire-DT network (
SWD
Baud rate
)
allowing the use of compatible SmartWire-DT devices (
Compatible
devices permissible
)
the handling of failing SmartWire-DT devices (
All devices are
optional
)
the handling of the replacement of SmartWire-DT devices during bus
operation (
Replacement during operation permissible
)
In the EtherCAT
®
engineering tool (i. e. TwinCAT), these Coordinator
parameters are mapped to the following configuration elements and indices
(all values in hex):
Coordinator Config
: index
0x2100
SWD Baud rate
: sub index
01
Compatible devices permissible
: sub index

In the TwinCAT System Manager, the configuration elements of the
Coordinator look as follows:
