4.3.3 Configuring I/O modules on the EtherCAT bus coupler module
The following step-by-step instructions describe the manual mapping of the available station
layout in the device view of the »PLC Designer«.
 Tip!
When an online connection has been established to the Lenze Controller, you can also start
an automatic search for available devices via fieldbus scan by executing the Start Search
command in the context menu of the EtherCAT master after adding the EtherCAT master
(step 3).
 Note!
Observe the following conditions before creating an EtherCAT configuration in the »PLC
Designer«:
•Only I/O compound modules EPM-Sxxx from hardware version 1B are supported.
• The sequence of the EtherCAT slaves in the device view must correspond to the
physical arrangement of the EtherCAT topology.
• In order that the system works properly, do not use any end terminals when setting
up the system configuration in the device view.
• Select the cycle times according to the technical data, from 1 ... 10 ms.
