12 POSITool over EtherCAT
Using the POSITool over EtherCAT function you can reach, via an EtherCAT
master, all 5
th
generation STÖBER inverters that are connected to the master in
an EtherCAT network. You can run all commissioning and diagnostic functions
provided by POSITool on all converters via one connection. It is therefore
unnecessary to establish a direction connection to each individual inverter.

12.1 Prerequisites
To be able to use the POSITool over EtherCAT function, the following
requirements must be met:
• All inverters in the EtherCAT network that are to be reached using POSITool
over EtherCAT must have firmware from version 5.5.
• Use a POSITool version from V 5.5. You will find the latest version of
POSITool at www.stoeber.de.
• Always use a current ESI file. You can obtain the file from the EtherCAT
wizard in POSITool.
• Use TwinCAT
®
from version V 2.10.0 (build 1340) (EtherCAT master with
mailbox gateway and VoE-support).
Information
Please note that the series SDS 5000 inverters can communicate with
the POSITool either via the Integrated Bus or via the POSITool over
EtherCAT function. Simultaneous operation via both communication
paths is not intended and is inhibited in POSITool.
