Step-by-step instructions
1. Copy device description files into TwinCAT directory.
In the Windows Explorer, open the directory where the device
description files are stored. On the product DVD, this is the
EDS\EU5C-
SWD-ETHERCAT\Vx.x.x.x
directory.
Copy the device description files.
Note:
You need the
Phoenix_EU5C-SWD-
ETHERCAT_Modules_XXXXXXXX.xml
and
Woehner_EU5C-SWD-

files only if the Smart-Wire-DT
network includes partner devices by Phoenix or Wöhner.
Copy the files to the
TwinCAT\Io\EtherCAT
directory of the TwinCAT
installation on your configuration PC.

adapter of your PC as EtherCAT
®
master device.
