Support for different mailbox sizes on the primary/secondary side
ADS (Automation Device Specification) is a protocol developed and disclosed by Beckhoff for data exchange between hardware- or software-based devices. The structure of these ADS telegrams can be viewed in the Beckhoff Information System or the ETG standards. The EL6695 can transport ADS telegrams directly to the other side via AoE (ADS over EtherCAT), without underlying IP channel. To this end, communication via AoE must be enabled on both sides.
To notify TwinCAT how or via which channel the ADS frames are to be routed, the address of the respective other system should be set as NetID. The example above is from the perspective of PC2.
