7.3.2 Installing field devices
For the installation of a field device, follow the mounting instructions for the respective device.
7.3.3 Create a project folder
Create a project folder on the Engineering PC.
Use this project folder to store the data generated in the following different project configuration
steps:
• Project data created in the »Engineer« or »EASY Starter«
• Project data created in »PLC Designer«

Tip!
Create a separate project folder for every EtherCAT configuration and store the project files.

Note!
• In the case of all field devices, the EtherCAT interfaces must be wired in accordance
with the preceding topology planning. Make sure that the inputs (IN) and outputs
(OUT) are not mixed up with each other; otherwise, the topology changes.
 Communication ( 19)
• The physical sequence of the field devices in the EtherCAT network must match the
EtherCAT configuration created in »PLC Designer«.
• The master automatically assigns the node addresses to the slaves. Therefore, a
manual address assignment is not required.
