Setting the Project
This section describes, for each target data, the setting rules for an EPLAN Electric P8 project, which
are necessary to use the connector function.
Precautions for Correct Use
Make settings of the PLC box in the PLC box whose
ID: 20122 Main function
check box is
checked. Otherwise, the AML file may not be output as created on the project and the data link
may fail.
Additional Information
It is recommended to arrange component data in each page as follows according to the recom-
mended settings of EPLAN Electric P8.
• In the Schematic single-line page, arrange the component data of the EtherCAT configuration
or the CPU and Expansion Racks configuration, and perform wiring.
• In the Overview page, arrange the component data of the CPU and Expansion Racks config-
uration or the Slave Terminal configuration.
• In the Schematic multi-line page, set the data of device variables or device variable com-
ments.
It is possible to run the connector function without arranging component data in each page if the
conditions described in
2-2 Preconditions for the Sysmac Studio/EPLAN Electric P8 Connector
3-3-1
CPU Units
Set the component data for CPU Units as follows.
PLC Box
Set the PLC box as follows.
ID
Property name
Setting value
20161
Configuration project
Any name in a format that meets the EPLAN specification con-
straints
20408
Station ID
Any name in a format that meets the EPLAN specification con-
straints
20253 1
CPU: Name [1]
{Name entered in "Configuration project"}.{Name entered in
"Station ID"}.{Single-byte number of 1 or more}
Precautions for Correct Use
Do not set the same name in
Configuration project
for more than one CPU Unit in a project.
This will result in the AML file containing multiple CPU Units and make it impossible to start the
connector function.
3-3-2
EtherCAT Slaves
Set the component data for EtherCAT slaves as follows.
