6.2 Configuring the Controller (EtherCAT master)
The Controller (EtherCAT master) must be configured before communication with the
communication module is possible.
In order to configure EtherCAT networks, you always need a configuration software for the
Controller, e.g.:
• Lenze »PLC Designer«
• Beckhoff »TwinCAT«
These are software systems for the programming of control programs, EtherCAT configuration, real-
time execution, and diagnostics.
The parameters of the communication module are stored in the internal configuration memory and
can be used by the master for the device identification.
For device detection (fieldbus scan), the corresponding device descriptions of the Lenze device
family are used.
