Page 4: Function Of The Pn/Ethercat Coupler
3 Function of the PN/EtherCAT Coupler With the PN/EtherCAT Coupler a simple and easy connection of a PROFINET machine to an EtherCAT machine is possible. The PN/EtherCAT Coupler allows the data transfer between a PROFINET controller and an EtherCAT master. Output data received on one side of the network is made available to the PLC as input data on the other side of the network. -

5 Download and install the GSDML and ESI file Please go to the product page of the PN/EtherCAT Coupler at www.helmholz.de and then to the download area or follow the link provided in the QR code. There you can download the current version of the GSDML and ESI file of the PN/EtherCAT Coupler in zipped form. -

TwinCAT V3: C:\TwinCAT\3.1\Config\Io\EtherCAT TwinCAT must be restarted so that the PN/EtherCAT Coupler is available afterwards. It can then be selected in the dialog "Insert EtherCAT device" under "Helmholz GmbH & Co. KG / EtherCAT Coupler". 5.3 Install ESI file in CODESYS To install the ESI file of the PN/EtherCAT coupler open the "Device Repository"... - Page 7 Quickstart Guide PN/EtherCAT Coupler | Version 1 | 02.08.2023...

Page 8: Data Exchange Methodology
6 Data exchange methodology The data exchange between the two network sides is carried out by the PN/EtherCAT Coupler as fast as possible. This means that as soon as new, valid output data has been received from the controller on one network side, it is transmitted as input data to the controller on the other network side at the next possible time. -
Page 9: Byte Order (Endianness)
6.2 Byte order (endianness) Since the byte order is different for the two bus systems PROFINET and EtherCAT - PROFINET uses "Big Endian" and EtherCAT "Little Endian" - the values are automatically converted in the PN/EtherCAT coupler. The conversion is automatically performed by the coupler for all data types that comprise 2, 4 or 8 bytes. For BYTE, SINT and USINT modules, however, the sequence of the data remains unchanged. -
Page 10: Configuration Of The Profinet Side
7 Configuration of the PROFINET side The data exchange between the PROFINET and the EtherCAT side of the PN/EtherCAT coupler is defined via the Simatic Engineering Tool - here using the example of "TIA Portal". The I/O data for exchange can be created in the slots of the PROFINET configuration. -

PLC. If the configuration is correct, the PROFINET "BF" LED should be off. The Helmholz IPSet tool, which can be downloaded free of charge from the Helmholz website, can also be used to set the PROFINET device name. Please follow the link in the QR code on the right. -
Page 12: Configuration Of Ethercat Side
8 Configuration of EtherCAT side The configuration of the EtherCAT side of the PN/EtherCAT coupler is explained below using CODESYS V3.5 as an example. The configuration should be similar with other tools. 8.1 Add PN/EtherCAT Coupler to project Precondition for a configuration is that there is already an EtherCAT master in the project. To add the PN/EtherCAT coupler in the device list with right click on the desired EtherCAT master and select the entry "Add device"... -
Page 13: Module Configuration
8.2 Module configuration After creating the coupler, the modules can now be added according to the PROFINET configuration. To add modules right click on the coupler in the device list and select the entry "Append device" in the menu to add a module behind already existing modules. Alternatively in the device list with right click on an already existing module and select in the menu the entry "Insert device"... -

Page 16: Status-Byte
10 Status-Byte To be able to consider the state of the PN/EtherCAT coupler in the respective PLC, the coupler contains a status byte in the cyclic input data both on the PROFINET and on the EtherCAT side. The status byte provides information about the validity of the exchanged I/O data, the status of the respective other network side and the status of the power supply at PS 1 and PS 2. -
Page 17: Status-Byte On Ethercat Side
10.2 Status-Byte on EtherCAT side In CODESYS you can find the status byte with the contained bits by double-clicking the coupler in the device list and then switching to the "EtherCAT I/O image" view. Structure of the status byte: Name Exchanged I/O data valid PROFINET I/O connection (AR) established PROFINET &... -
