Short setup
During commissioning, the EtherCAT master operates as gateway to access from the Engineer-
ing PC to the slaves.
In the following, the required steps are described to control the device as EtherCAT slave.
Preconditions
The device is networked as EtherCAT slave with an EtherCAT master and, if necessary, fur-

•
A »PLC Designer« project with current device description files for EtherCAT is available.
•
Download XML/ESI files for Lenze devices

"Tools à Device repository").
All EtherCAT devices are supplied with voltage and are switched on.

Short setup
With the »PLC Designer« from V3.12, the CiA 402 operating mode "CiA: Velocity mode" is

automatically activated.
In the operating mode "CiA: Velocity mode", the setpoint speed defined via the "Target
