More detailed information is provided in the documentation for the IPC.
2. Call scanfd.exe via the command line box of the IPC to scan the fieldbus.
3. Determine the available interfaces of the IPC:
• Enter scanfd /i.
Output example:
The fieldbus scanner displays the available interfaces:
• ECAT for the EtherCAT-capable field devices,
• CAN1 and CAN2 for the CAN field devices.
Option Output on the console
/i Determine available interfaces
/t Display device information for every network node.
/f Display additional device parameters for every device if available.
