Integration via an EL663x

The following section shows how a PROFINET Controller protocol is integrated using the EL6631 PROFINET gateway terminal.

The EL663x is primarily an EtherCAT slave, which means that it must be included in the TwinCAT configuration, since it serves as an adapter for the PROFINET Controller.

Integration via an EL663x 1:

The controller protocol is appended directly to the I/O device. Select the appropriate protocol according to the configuration with the EL663x. If such a terminal is located on the projected EtherCAT segment, the associated adapter is entered directly when the protocol is added. For the operation of several EL663x terminals the corresponding PROFINET protocol must be appended several times. If the terminal assignment is to be modified or checked afterwards, this can take place on the Adapter tab.
