Hey everyone,
I'm trying to send IO between my Twincat3 PLC and my KRC4 compact. I'm running Workvisual 3.1.
I have my KRC4 connect from X65 to the X1 ethercat input on the EL6695-0002 and my softPLC (running on my PC) is connected to an EK1101
PC ==> EK1101 ==> EL1008 ==> EL2008 ==> EL7342 ==> EL6695-0001/EL6695-0002 ==>KRC4
I've created a byte of information for both input and output on the EL6695-0002 through the slave settings of the EL6695 in workvisual. However I don't exactly know how to map this byte to any IO?
In addition, I tried creating 8 bits of IO and mapping that to the digital IO (which works) however this method doesn't seem to be able to send information to the PLC. No errors pop up but IO i have created that is mapped to the digital IO on the KRC4 dont seem to react to or affect the 8 bits of I and O I have created on the Twincat 3 PLC.
So my questions are,
1.How do i properly send IO between the KRC4 and the PLC, is there some special configuration I'm required to do but am missing?
2.How do I map digital IO to edit a shared byte of info on the EL6695-0002
Any help is appreciated thanks
