4.2.4.2 PROFIBUS with CANopen or EtherCAT
The PROFIBUS bus system can be combined with CANopen or EtherCAT.
 This makes sense if not all field devices are available for the same bus system or a mo-
tion bus is required in parallel to the PROFIBUS.
 The bus systems are synchronised in the control, the IPC (controller).
The following combinations are allowed:
PROFIBUS (as logic bus) and up to two CAN interfaces (as motion bus)

For the configuration and parameterisation of the bus systems the data in the
corresponding communication manuals apply:
• CANopen communication manual
• EtherCAT communication manual
• PROFIBUS communication manual

Note!
A mixed operation is only possible with Industrial PCs which have two extension
slots for communication cards.
• When the Command Station is used, a mixed operation is not possible!
