This section describes step-by-step the commissioning of the passive
process data acquisition of the Edge Gateway in an EtherCAT network
using an ENI file.
In the following description eight steps explain how you can create a project
file for passive process data acquisition with the Edge Gateway in your
EtherCAT network (Steps1 to 7) without any manual slave configuration
and upload this project file into the Edge Gateway then (Step 8, see
separate description Uploading the project file to the Edge
Gateway [} page 114]).
Contrary to the PROFINET configuration, the EtherCAT configuration can
be done offline, i.e. without connection to the Edge Gateway.
The following figure shows the wiring diagram related to this step-by-step
instruction. The Edge Gateway is wired as passive access point between
EtherCAT Master and the first EtherCAT Slave in order to capture the
network communication between those completely.
