Install EtherCAT Driver

Before initializing TwinCAT, the EtherCAT network interface card driver must be
installed. Click on the Options menu and select the Show Real-Time Ethernet Com-
patible Drivers option.
All of the network interface cards are listed in the [incompatible devices] tree node.
Select the device to be used for EtherCAT by TwinCAT and click the Install button.
After the driver is installed, the devices will be shown in the Installed and Ready to
Use Devices node.
Although the driver is installed for TwinCAT use, it does not differ from a standard
network interface card and can still connect to Ethernet.
