Appending an EtherCAT device
Once you have selected an EtherCAT device as target system, you can add the EtherCAT device in the tree view in TwinCAT.
These operations can be used to add an EtherCAT master or EtherCAT slave in the tree view.
Prerequisites for this step:
- A scanned and selected target device.
Add an EtherCAT device as follows:
- 1. In the tree view on the left, right-click on Devices.
- 2. In the context menu click on Scan.
- 3. Select the devices you want to use and confirm the selection with OK.
- 4. Confirm the request with Yes, in order to look for boxes.
- The EtherCAT device was added successfully in the tree view.
