8-1-3 Setting the EtherCAT Network Configuration
Start the Sysmac Studio and make the following settings.
Creating the EtherCAT Network Configuration
Use the EtherCAT Configuration Editor to create the slave configuration.
In this example, digital I/O slaves are set to node addresses 1 and 2 and Servo Drives are set to
node addresses 3 and 4.
Assigning Device Variables to Digital I/O Slaves (Node Addresses 1 and 2)
Use the I/O Map to assign device variables to the I/O ports of the slaves.
In this example, Pwr_On is assigned to bit 0 of slave 1 and Hm1_On is assigned to bit 1 of slave 1.
