Connecting Beckhoff IO

[robots_at_apex]

As anybody connected Beckhoff IO into the IRC5's built-in device net?  If so can you give me some tips on how to do it?
Many thanks in advance....

For device net you need the EDS file info and add the Board to the EIO.CFG
Do you have the EDS file ??

Hi,
yes, there is no problem there, for example look at this,
