2 Setup in the PLC

In the following the steps the integration of a LinMot EtherCAT servo controller in the PLC is
described. In the example a Beckhoff master PLC is used.

2.1 Copy Device Description File

The LinMot servo controller is described with *.xml device description file distributed with the
LinMot-Talk1100 SW.
Copy this file to PLC so it can access it.
Example Source path of EtherCAT Device description file:
C:\Programme\LinMot\LinTalk1100 3.11 Build 20091204\Firmware\Interfaces\EtherCAT\XML\LinMot_ECAT_Servos_V1_1.xml
Example Destination path of EtherCAT Device description file:
C:\TwinCAT\Io\EtherCAT\LinMot_ECAT_Servos_V1_1.xml
If this is done the PLC should recognize all LinMot Servo controller on the EtherCAT fieldbus
automatically.

2.2 Scan the EtherCAT slave devices

Connect the EtherCAT LinMot Servo controller to the EtherCAT-Master and power on the
Signal Supply. Then Scan for the connected devices in the System manager:
