EL 6652-0010 configuration

The most important settings for establishing a connection with an EtherNet/I master or a scanner are IP
address, the assembly instance number and thus the length of the data and the correct task cycle time.
The IP address can be freely assigned and is transferred to the terminal during the EtherCAT start-up. The
assembly instance numbers are permanently assigned and must be correctly set in the master. This also
always includes the number of data or the size of the process image. The maximum length of the data can
differ from master to master. Enquire to the manufacturer of the master for this information. The task time
with which the EtherNet/IP is to be operated must be at least just as large on the EtherCAT terminal as on
the master side. However, it can also be many times smaller. For example, you can set 10 ms on the master
side. The task of the EtherNet/I slave may then be 10, 5, 2, and 1 ms for example.
In terms of communication, "Unicast" or "Multicast" can be used on the master side – the EL6652-0010
supports both modes of operation. In the case of Multicast, pay attention to the high network load that this
causes, especially in systems with many or short cycle times. A high network load may possibly impair
communication.
No configuration data are necessary for the EL6652-0010; the configuration must usually be specified, but
the length of configuration data is to be set to "zero".
Commissioning: Insertion of the EL6652-0010
Insert the EL6652-0010 into your EtherCAT system. You can perform the online scan as usual or manually
add the terminal.

As soon as you have appended the terminal you must also create the "EtherNet/IP" device in the System
Manager. Go onto "I/O devices" and append a further device.

Under "EtherNet/IP" you will find the adapter "EtherNet/IP adapter (EL6652-0010)". Select this.
