Accessing the EL6695 via TwinCAT

The context menu (right-click, then select Add New Item...) can be used to create a configuration or integrate the EL6695 bridge terminal in a TwinCAT project. Alternatively, right-click on the respective EtherCAT Device and select the Scan function from the context menu of device n (EtherCAT), which automatically reads all connected devices and boxes and integrates them into the structure (see diagram):

After “Scan”: EL6695 in the terminal segment (left) and via EtherCAT (via RJ-45 X1) as box (right)

On the E-bus side, the EL6695 can be seen as a “Terminal” in the terminal segment. Via the RJ45 connection it is represented as a “Box” in the configuration (cf. EtherCAT slave). The initial state of the EL6695 bridge terminal after reading/creation is:
