6.3 Address allocation
The EtherCAT nodes are normally addressed via a fixed 16-bit address defined by the EtherCAT
master. During start-up, the master assigns this address to each node, depending on the physical
order in the EtherCAT network. The address is not saved and is lost when the device is switched off.
Via the Station alias address input field you can assign a fixed address to the EtherCAT slave.
Valid address range: 0 … 32767
• Address 0 means that no station alias address is assigned.
• Impermissible addresses are marked in red in the input field.
• The address is written to code
C13899 .
In addition, specify the use of the fixed addressing on the master.
The address assigned by the master is displayed under code
C13864 .

Note!
• The station alias address must be unambiguous and may only be assigned once
within the EtherCAT network.
• Use the same station alias address in the EtherCAT master and in the slave.
