Configuring the master station

After the adapter module has been initialized by the drive, you

must prepare the master station for communication with the

module.

The PLC used in the example below is a B&R X20 CP1485. The

information should, however, be easily adaptable for use with other

PLCs as well. The example can be applied to all drive types

compatible with the module.



XML Device Description Files (XDD) are XML files that specify the

properties of the follower device for the Ethernet POWERLINK

master. The description files contain information on the supported

communication objects.
