A 6.4 EtherCAT Configuration with the Beckhoff TwinCAT©-Manager
For example the Beckhoff TwinCAT Manager can be used as EtherCAT Master.
Copy the device description file (EtherCAT®-Slave Information) Micro-Epsilon.xml in the directory
\\TwinCAT\IO\EtherCAT (for TwinCATV2.xx) or \\TwinCAT\3.1\Config\IO\EtherCAT (for TwinCAT V3.xx),
before the measuring device can be configured via EtherCAT®.
The file is available online at:

EtherCAT®-Slave information files are XML files, which specify the characteristics of the Slave device for the
EtherCAT® Master and contain information to the supported communication objects.
Restart the TwinCAT Manager after copying.
