7.8. Operation on a Controller
If you want to commission the device when connected to a control system, please perform the following steps:
• Connect the branch to the supply voltage and to the control system via the EtherCAT in port (x1). You will find
the matching connection equipment on the wenglor homepage.
• You will need the EtherCAT XML Device Description File (ESI-File EtherCAT Slave Information) which is
available at www.wenglor.com › Product World › Product search (Order number) › Download › Product
Description Files.
• The files should always be stored in the ESI directory of the respective master. If the Twin-CAT software is
used, it should be stored in the folder “...\IO\EtherCAT\” in the installation folder.
• The following example shows the steps that have to be carried out (example based on the TwinCat System
Manager by Beckhoff):
• First, the list “Echtzeit Ethernet kompatible Geräte” (list of all real-time Ethernet-compatible devices) must be
requested.
• Once the correct network card has been installed, new slave devices can be searched for in “E/A Geräte” (I/O
devices). If all configurations are correct, the slave devices are now listed in the TwinCAT tree.
• The assemblies can now be switched into “Free Run” mode so that the local cycle runs independently of the
pre-set master cycle.
• I n the next step, the process data of the individual devices can be configured.
For a more detailed description of the different control systems and the installation of files or the network de-
sign, please refer to the help files of the corresponding control system.
