8.3 PLC Setup
8.3.1 EtherCAT Device Description File XML
The EtherCAT device description file (XML) is located by default in the LinMot-Talk installation path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\LinMot\LinMot-Talk X.X Build XXXXXXXX\Firmware\Interfaces\EtherCAT_SoE\XML
Copy this file to your local TwinCAT installation path:
•
C:\TwinCAT\Io\EtherCAT\
•

Note: You may have to restart the developing environment to have the new XML file to be recognized.
