Configuration of the EtherCAT slave

Incorporating it into an EtherCAT network involves the following essential
steps:
1. One-time setup of isochronous data traffic using the MX Assistant
2. Adjustment and configuration of the individual channels using the EtherCAT
master or XML file (*.esi)
- Channel configuration (service data objects, SDO)
- Process data allocation (process data object, PDO)
Various different masters are available for EtherCAT integration, all of which
are configured using the corresponding software tools (e.g. König PA KPA
EtherCAT Studio, Beckhoff TwinCAT).
As an alternative, you can use MX Assistant to create an XML file or utilize the
included standard files for configuration (system DVD or website). The XML file
is the electronic data sheet for the connected EtherCAT slave and therefore
varies for each device. It is also referred to as EtherCAT Slave Information
(*.esi). This *.esi must then be conveyed to the EtherCAT master by copying it
into the corresponding file path (e.g. C:\TwinCAT\Io\EtherCAT).
Information
All EtherCAT masters can manage only one CX27-XML data set.
