How to use the EtherCAT ADS communication path:
1. Highlight the desired inverter, to which a gateway connection via EtherCAT ADS is to be
established, in the project tree.
2. Call the menu command Online Set communication path and go online.
3. Select Gateway Controller -> EtherCAT ADS as bus connection.
4. Enter the access data applicable to the controller in area .
Enter the user name, password, and the IP address and the AMS Net ID of the EtherCAT
interface of the Controller.
5. In area , specify the EtherCAT address of the field device to which the online connection
is to be established.
Alternatively you can click the Search/Enter button which calls the "Select Device Access
Path" dialog box. By this, the »Engineer« initiates the controller to display the devices
detected on the EtherCAT segment.
Tip!
If you have installed »TwinCAT« V2 or V3 but no connection to the Beckhoff control has
been prepared, use the »TwinCAT« system manager or the version-specific »TwinCAT«
route tool (accessible via the »TwinCAT« tray icon) for creating the required ADS remote
connection.
As "AMSNetId" select the "NetId" of the EtherCAT device (usually "a.b.c.d.2.1").
Note!
If several PCs access a target device (slave) simultaneously under a Beckhoff control,
superpositions cause sporadic transmission errors in the communication protocol.
