8.1 Protocol Configuration
For EtherCAT, the IP address configuration is done on master’s side. From Ether-
CAT state PreOp, Ethernet over EtherCAT (EoE) is started and IndraWorks can
be used.
8.2 System Configuration
8.2.1 Configuration File
An EtherCAT master requires both, an EtherCAT Slave Information (ESI) and an
Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) file in order to fully support an EtherCAT slave run-
ning CoE (CAN over EtherCAT). The former provides a slave device description
for EtherCAT PLCs and some information for configuring the EtherCAT communi-
cation. The latter describes accessible CAN objects of the device.
