information on the measuring system-specific parameters and the operating modes of
the measuring system. The XML file is integrated by the EtherCAT network
configuration tool, in order to enable correct configuration and commissioning of the
measuring system.
The XML file is called "TR-Ethercat_Cxx2M_xx_FoE.xml".
