(Use Case 1) Create new EtherCAT configuration
(Use Case 2) Alteration to the EtherCAT configuration when the
topology is changed
(Use Case 3) Alteration to the EtherCAT configuration when the
topology was not changed
(Use Case 4) Taking over an existing EtherCAT configuration
(Use Case 5) Offline alteration to the EtherCAT configuration
(Use Case 6) Diagnostics
Here, you can create a new EtherCAT configuration within the PLC
project.
Any EtherCAT configuration already present there is deleted.
You can make changes to the EtherCAT configuration within the EC-
engineer.
Next, you can insert the I/O variables for EtherCAT into the PLC project
and transfer the ENI file to the controller.
After a device has been connected, removed or relocated within the EC
network (i.e. after the topology has been changed), this is where you can
modify the EtherCAT configuration already existing in the PLC project.
You can make changes to the EtherCAT configuration within the EC-
engineer.
Next, you can insert the I/O variables for EtherCAT into the PLC project
and transfer the ENI file to the controller.
Here you can modify the EtherCAT configuration already existing in the
PLC project after an alteration was made to the EtherCAT configuration,
but no topology change was made.
You can make changes to the EtherCAT configuration within the EC-
engineer.
Next, you can insert the I/O variables for EtherCAT into the PLC project
and transfer the ENI file to the controller.
Here you can transfer the EtherCAT configuration already existing in the
PLC project to the controller.
This is necessary in the event that the PLC project is to be taken over by
another controller, and the EtherCAT configuration that it incorporates is
to be taken over into this new controller without any modification.
Next, you can insert the I/O variables for EtherCAT into the PLC project
and transfer the ENI file to the controller.
Here you can alter the EtherCAT configuration already existing in the
PLC project without going online to the controller.
You can make changes to the EtherCAT configuration within the EC-
engineer.
Next, you can insert the I/O variables for EtherCAT® into the PLC project.
Here you can call the EC-Engineer in diagnostic mode.
