Fig. 45: Scan Devices
This scan mode not only tries to find EtherCAT devices (or Ethernet ports that can be used as such), but
also NOVRAM, fieldbus cards, SMB etc. Not all devices can be found automatically.
Fig. 46: Note for automatic device scan
Ethernet ports with installed TwinCAT real-time driver are shown as "RT Ethernet" devices. An EtherCAT
frame is sent to these ports for testing purposes. If the scan agent detects from the response that an
EtherCAT device is connected, the port is immediately shown as an "EtherCAT Device".
Fig. 47: detected Ethernet devices
After confirmation with "OK" a device scan is suggested for all selected devices (see the illustration below).
