Checklist
The following checklist can be used for a successful configuration up to remote access:
1. Successful EtherCAT configuration
- no LostFrames
- EtherCAT master and all slaves in OP state
- all WorkingCounters = 0; if necessary, set up special SyncUnits for deliberately inactive slaves
2. Set a different IP address for the EtherCAT port and the port used at the laptop, but within the same
subnet section.
(here: 172.1.1.1 and 172.1.1.2)
3. Check the connection from both sides through ping commands
4. Establish connection as target system
Ethernet connection
It is advisable to use credible addresses in the Properties dialog of the network interface, IP proto-
col (Windows XP SP2) Default gateway and DNS server, although they are not actually required.
