In the GSD, there are 2 folders with the names "Conveyor Control with standard con-
figuration" and "Conveyor Control with topology and full PLC configuration". The rele-
vant access points [1] (DAPs/Device Access Points) are listed in each of these folders.

4.2 Step 2: Selecting the configuration type
INFORMATION
At this point, you decide whether the ECC-DFC fieldbus controllers will be configured
and operated in "standard configuration" or in "full PLC configuration".
Select one of the two configuration types. The properties of the configuration types are
explained below.
"standard configuration":
• Simple configuration and auto configuration with the help of the ECShell engineer-
ing software
• PROFINET device names and IP addresses are defined permanently beforehand
and are not freely configurable. See the chapter "Startup" (→
2 19) for further in-
formation.
"full PLC configuration":
• Thanks to assembly parameters, the configuration of the ECC-DFC fieldbus con-
troller is defined and performed entirely in the higher-level PLC. The ECShell engi-
neering software is not necessary.
• The PROFINET device name and the IP addresses can be selected freely in ac-
cordance with the PROFINET guidelines.
• Topology detection, neighborhood detection with LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Pro-
tocol).
4.3 Step 3: Selecting the operating mode
The GSD contains several access points that are used to select the operating mode.
Between 2 and 4 operating modes are available, depending on the configuration type.
The two fundamental operating modes are "ZPA mode" (Zero Pressure Accumulation)
and "PLC mode".
