Introduction

Master and slave terminals for DeviceNet

The master and slave terminals for DeviceNet correspond to the FC5201 PCI card from Beckhoff. Thanks to the connection via EtherCAT, no PCI slots are required in the PC. Within an EtherCAT terminal network, the terminal enables the integration of any DeviceNet devices.
The EL6752 is optionally available in a master or slave version and has a powerful protocol implementation with many features:

• All I/O modes of the DeviceNet are supported: polling, change of state, cyclic, strobed
• Unconnected message manager (UCMM)
• Powerful parameter and diagnostics interfaces
• Error management freely configurable for each bus device

A description of all functionalities and operating modes can be found in the chapter "Configuration" and the corresponding subsections.
