To be able to use the
POSITool over EtherCAT
function in an existing project, you
must add an EtherCAT entry to the project. For this purpose, on the
File
menu
choose the
New EtherCAT…
command. The following dialog screen is displayed:
Fig. 12-3 Adding EtherCAT entry
Here you can type a name for the EtherCAT entry in the Name field and in the list
below, select the inverters with which you want to communicate over
POSITool
over EtherCAT
. These inverters are, once you have accepted the dialog screen
using the
OK
button, displayed in the project view below the EtherCAT entry:
Fig. 12-4 Inverter in the EtherCAT entry
Note that using
POSITool over EtherCAT
you can only reach those inverters that
are allocated to an EtherCAT entry.
An SDS 5000 cannot be allocated to an IGB entry and an EtherCAT entry at the
same time. If you want to reach an SDS 5000 via
POSITool over EtherCAT
instead of IGB, you must first delete the inverter from the IGB and then allocate it
to the EtherCAT entry as described above.
If, on the File menu you choose the
Manage EtherCAT
command, the following
dialog screen is displayed:
