6.2 Configuring the host system (master)
For communication with the communication module, first the host system (master) must
be configured.
For configuring EtherCAT networks. a configuration software is always required for the
host system (master), e.g.:
ƒ Lenze »PLC Designer«
ƒ »TwinCAT« by the company Beckhoff
These are software systems for programming control programs, EtherCAT configuration,
real−time execution and diagnostics.
ƒ The basic parameters of the communication module are stored in the internal
configuration memory and can be used by the master for the node detection.
ƒ During the search for nodes (fieldbus scan) the corresponding device descriptions of
the Lenze device family are used.
6.2.1 Installing device description files

6.2.2 Automatic device detection
ƒ For an error−free integration of the EtherCAT slaves into a master configuration it is
required to select the correct Lenze device in the EtherCAT configuration software.
ƒ An EtherCAT node is clearly identified via the configuration software by the product
code (identical with the CoE object I−1018.2), the manufacturer’s identification mark
(0x3B) and the main software version of the communication module.
ƒ In order that the configuration software selects the configuration from the device
description file specific to the Ether−CAT nodes, the product code is automatically set
in the identity object and updated after switch−on or each application download.
ƒ During the initialisation, the product code is transmitted to the EtherCAT master.
With this identification, the master can adopt the corresponding settings from the
device description.
