Hello.
KRC5 micro.
I need to connect the analog output via EtherCAT.
I only have the EtherCAT Coupler (Beckhoff - EK1100) so far.
This analog output needs to be set in the technology program.
We need to control the analog output very fast.
(I don't know why they came up with this. According to the customer, EtherCAT exchange is faster than Profinet).
I looked up that EtherCAT connects to port XF8 of the KEI interface.
Still need the configuration in WorkVIsual.
But I'm confused.
The IP address for the EtherCAT existing network in the project is the Profinet address.
Do I need to add another network for the EtherCAT Coupler?
I don't really understand how to control the analog output via the EtherCAT Beckhoff coupler.
I don't have the analog output module itself yet.
Any ideas on how to combine all this?
Thanks.
