Configuration of an EAP device
An EAP device created using TwinCAT as described in chapter Creation of an EAP configuration is initially configured with standard settings. The standard settings are selected such that the user only needs to ensure that the order of the data variables on the receiver side is identical to that on the sender side and that the same data type is selected for the data variables to be transmitted on both the sender and receiver side. An EAP connection configured in this way always communicates in Pushed Data Exchange Mode (see Communication methods).
The EAP communication can be freely configured with the help of the configuration options of the EAP device and the subordinated boxes (Publisher/Subscriber, Publisher/Subscriber Variable – see following illustration). Furthermore it is possible to read out information about the current configuration of an activated EAP device.
