• The files should always be saved to the ESI directories of the respective master. For TwinCAT software in
the “...\IO\EtherCAT\” folder in the installation folder.
• The following procedure is provided as an example (based on the TwinCAT System Manager from
Beckhoff):
• The first step involves accessing the list of “real-time Ethernet compatible devices”.
• After the right network card has been installed, new slave participants can be looked for under “I/O devic-
es”. If everything has been correctly configured, the slave participants are listed in the TwinCAT tree.
• The modules can then be set to the free run mode so that the local cycle functions independently of the
specified master cycle.
• The process data of the individual participants can be configured during the next step.
