EtherCAT - PROFIBUS DP Slave Terminal EL6731_0010

CODESYS supports the EL6731_0010 device from Beckhoff. This device establishes a gateway from EtherCAT to the PROFIBUS DP slave. You insert the gateway below the EtherCAT EK1100 coupler. Then you can configure it like a typical EtherCAT slave.

When you insert the gateway, a PROFIBUS DP slave node is inserted automatically. This PROFIBUS DP slave behaves like a standard PROFIBUS DP slave.
