Integration via an EL663x-0010

The following section shows how to configure a PROFINET device using the PROFINET Gateway Terminal EL6631-0010 or EL6633-0010, hereinafter referred to as EL663x-0010.

The EL663x-0010 is primarily an EtherCAT slave, which means that it must be included in the TwinCAT configuration because it serves as an adapter for the PROFINET device. As a result, if the EtherCAT bus has an error, the PROFINET adapter will also display errors and therefore will not work.

• Right-click Devices and select Add New Item

• Select PROFINET I/O Device EL663x-0010 (RT), EtherCAT according to the configuration with the EL663x-0010. If there is a single EL663x-0010 on the projected EtherCAT segment, the associated adapter is entered directly when the protocol is appended. If there are several terminals the corresponding one can be selected.
