Parameterization with TwinCAT 2

This section illustrates how you can parameterize the EtherCAT slave option interface using TwinCAT 2.

First, the process of finding and selecting a target system in TwinCAT is illustrated. Next, an EtherCAT slave is added to TwinCAT. A small PLC project is then created and added to TwinCAT. The variables from the PLC project are then linked to the hardware and the finished configuration is loaded onto the device.
