7 Mixed operation PROFIBUS with EtherCAT
[7-1] Example: Mixed operation of PROFIBUS with EtherCAT on the 3231 C Lenze Controller
Within the Lenze Controller-based Automation, PROFIBUS can be used in parallel to the EtherCAT
bus system. This is useful if not all field devices are available for the same bus system or if a Motion
bus (EtherCAT) is required in parallel to PROFIBUS.
The following combinations are permissible: PROFIBUS (Logic bus) and EtherCAT (Logic/Motion bus)
