6.3 Address allocation
The EtherCAT nodes are normally addressed via a fixed 16-bit address defined by the EtherCAT
master. During start-up, the master assigns this address to each node, depending on the physical
order in the EtherCAT network. The address is not saved and is lost when the device is switched off.
In the »Engineer«, the address assigned is shown under the Settings tab in the Active station
address display field ( C13864 / C14864 ).
Define station alias
Via the Station alias address input field, you can also assign a permanent address to the
EtherCAT slave.
Valid address range: 0 … 32767
• Address '0' means that no station alias is assigned.
• Impermissible addresses are marked in red in the input field.
• The address is written to code
C13899 / C14899 .
In addition, specify the use of the fixed addressing on the master.

Note!
• The station alias must only be set if the node is part of a "hot connect" group.
• The station alias must be unambiguous and must only be assigned once within the
EtherCAT network.
• Use the same station alias in the EtherCAT master and in the slave.
