If there is a CPX−FEC in your CPX terminal, you can operate
the bus node in the Remote Controller operating mode.
The bus node then occupies 8 input bytes and 8 output
bytes. These are available to the control program in the
CPX−FEC and the EtherCAT Master (IPC/PLC).
1. Make sure that DIL switch DIL 1.1 of the bus node is in
the remote controller position (DIL 1.1 = ON,
DIL 1.2 = OFF; see section 1.2.2, Tab. 1/1).
As a result, the bus node CPX−FB38 is configured as a
remote controller.
To configure the CPX−FEC and CPX terminal, the use of
Festo Software Tools Version 4 (FST 4) is required
(see step 2.).
2. Configure the CPX terminal with the Festo Software Tools
FST 4 via the CPX−FEC.
3. Start your configuration and programming software,
e.g. Beckhoff TwinCAT.
4. Open the hardware configuration (I/O Configuration).
5. Configure the EtherCAT network.
