Information
For correct communication, the EtherCAT master software and the
mailbox gateway it contains must work correctly. The manufacturer of
this software is solely responsible for this function!
Information
For correct communication, it is necessary to carefully configure the
EtherCAT; the devices must also be correctly allocated in the POSITool.
The user is responsible for ensuring communication is with the specific
inverter intended. Any mistakes in the address or position of the
inverter cannot be detected or prevented by the inverter or POSITool!
Information
While working with POSITool ensure simultaneous access (mailbox,
CoE/SDO) to the inverter parameters by a controller program is not
possible.
