This chapter contains information about the configuration of the EtherCAT
®
master and
startup of MOVITRAC
®
B for fieldbus operation.
5.1 Validity of the XML file for the FSE24B communication option
5.2 Configuration of the EtherCAT
®
master for MOVITRAC
®
B with XML file
5.2.1 XML file for running the FSE24 communication option on MOVITRAC
®
B
For the configuration of the EtherCAT
®
master, you can use a special XML file
(SEW_FSE24B.XML). Copy this file into a designated directory of your configuration
software.
Refer to the manuals of the respective configuration software for details on the proce-
dure.
The XML files standardized by the EtherCAT
®
Technology Group (ETG) can be read by
all EtherCAT
®
masters.
5.2.2 Project planning procedure
Proceed as follows to configure MOVITRAC
®
B with EtherCAT
®
fieldbus interface:
1. Install (copy) the XML file according to the requirements of your project planning soft-
ware. Once the file has been installed correctly, the unit appears next to the slave
stations (under SEW-EURODRIVE
→ Drives) with the designation MOVIT-
RAC+FSE24B .
2. Use the menu item [Insert] to add the unit to the EtherCAT
®
structure. The address
is assigned automatically. For easier identification, you can give the unit a name.
3. Select the process data configuration required for your application (see chapter
"PDO configuration").
4. Link the I/O or periphery data with the input and output data of the application pro-
gram.
After configuration, you can start the EtherCAT
®
communication. The LEDs RUN and
ERR indicate the communication status of FSE24B (see chapter "Status LEDs of
FSE24B").
5.2.3 Configuration of process data objects (PDO)
In the CoE (CAN application protocol over EtherCAT
®
) variant, EtherCAT
®
uses the pro-
cess data objects (PDO) defined in the CANopen standard for cyclic communication be-
