Real-time Ethernet port multiplier38
Version: 2.6
Setting up EtherCAT cable redundancy
The EtherCAT configuration must be created on a CU2508 downlink port as described in the chapter "Setup:
Device EtherCAT [}32]". The resulting topology can be displayed in the Device EtherCAT using the Topology
button; see fig. Display of a simple EtherCAT topology.

The items below are to be specified in the following steps
• the control-side redundancy adapter, in this case on the CU2508
• the field-side redundancy adapter on the last EtherCAT slave
The EtherCAT redundancy port is specified in Device -> EtherCAT -> Advanced Settings.
