AKD EtherCAT | 3 Installation and Setup
The name, Net ID and port number are information comming from the TwinCAT master con-
figuration file (the name may be different than the drive name returned by the
DRV.NAME
command). While the status is an indicator that tells if there is already a device created within
WorkBench which is already connected to that particular drive.
Using TwinCAT System Manager, the drive name and port number can be found in the Gen-
eral and EtherCAT tab respectively for the corresponding drive under the I/O Configuration →
I/O Devices → Device [x] → Drive [x] node.
