5.3 Configuration of the EtherCAT
®
master for MOVITRAC
®
B/gateway with XML
file
This section describes the configuration of the EtherCAT
®
master with MOVITRAC
®
B
and the DFE24B gateway / UOH11B.
5.3.1 XML files for operation in MOVITRAC
®
B and UOH11B gateway housing
For the configuration of the EtherCAT
®
master, you can use a special XML file
(SEW_DFE24B.XML). Copy this file to a folder in the configuration software.
Refer to the manuals for the appropriate project planning software for details on the pro-
cedure.
The XML files standardized by the EtherCAT
®
Technology Group (ETG) can be read by
all EtherCAT
®
masters.
5.3.2 Project planning procedure
Proceed as follows to configure MOVITRAC
®
/ gateways with the EtherCAT
®
interface:
1. Install (copy) the XML file according to the requirements of your project planning soft-
ware. Once the file has been installed correctly, the unit appears next to the slave
stations (under SEW-EURODRIVE → Drives) with the designation DFE24B-Gate-
way.
2. Use the menu item [Insert] to add the unit to the EtherCAT
®
structure. The address
is assigned automatically. You can give the device a name to make it easier to iden-
tify.
3. Link the I/O or periphery data with the input and output data of the application pro-
gram.
After configuration, you can start the EtherCAT
®
communication. The LEDs RUN and
ERR indicate the communication status of option DFE24B (see chapter "Operating dis-
plays of the DFE24B option").
INFORMATION
Plausibility of the configuration of process data objects:
• In the freely configurable process data objects OutputData2 and InputData2, cycli-
cal process output data PO1 – 10 cannot be inserted when OutputData1 or
InputData1 is configured at the same time.
• Multiple configuration of process data objects is not possible.
• Only standard process data objects PO1 – PO10, PI1 – PI10 or IPOS
plus®
vari-
ables (indices 11000.0 – 12023.0) can be configured as process data.
