Scan for devices and add slaves. Choose Configurations and Setup > EtherCAT,
right‑click the master device, and choose Compare and Merge with Actual
Network Configuration. The controller automatically scans all slaves in the
network (a fault will be reported if any station number is 0). After the scanning is
complete, click Apply in the displayed Apply actual network configuration dialog
box. The slaves are added. You can view the added slaves on the main interface.
Note
The MD500‑ECAT card allows the station alias to be modified by using the parameter FD‑02
or the software tool of the master station. The modified station alias takes effect upon next
power‑on.
