Page 13: Creating A Hot Connect Group
Commissioning Creating a Hot Connect group You can use an EtherCAT P Box with ID switch to create a Hot Connect group. Proceed as follows: 1. Arrange the EtherCAT devices so that the box with ID switch is the first EtherCAT device in the planned Hot Connect group. - Page 14 Commissioning 4. Ensure that the checkboxes are set correctly: - check in "Identification Value". - check removed in "EtherCAT Addr. of previous Slave". 5. Set the desired ID under "Identification Value" (0 ... 4095 ð If this ID matches the ID set via the ID switches, the Hot Connect group is successfully identified. Version: 1.0 EPPxxxx-x7xx...
