9.2.3 EoE: Application cases with STOBER devices
STOBER uses EoE to connect DriveControlSuite to STOBER drive controllers of the 6th generation in combination with an
EtherCAT master. A distinction is made between two topologies here:
§ Topology 1
The EtherCAT master and DriveControlSuite are operated on one PC; only the EtherCAT network is used
§ Topology 2
The EtherCAT master and DriveControlSuite are operated on different PCs; transmission takes place between the
EtherCAT network and Ethernet
9.2.3.1 Topology 1: EtherCAT master and DS6 on one PC
If the EtherCAT master and DriveControlSuite are installed on one PC, the Ethernet subnet where the drive controllers are
operated is automatically known to DriveControlSuite through the master's gateway function.
DriveControlSuite detects the drive controllers; no additional manual configurations are needed.
The following graphic shows the associated network overview together with pre-assigned network addresses on the system
end.
