EtherCAT with CANopen or PROFIBUS
8 EtherCAT with CANopen or PROFIBUS
The EtherCAT bus system can be combined with CANopen or PROFIBUS. This makes sense
if not all field devices are available for the same bus system or a motion bus is required
parallelly to the PROFIBUS. The bus systems are sychronised in the control.
The following combinations are allowed:
 CANopen and EtherCAT
– CANopen configuration in the »PLC Designer«
– EtherCAT configuration in the »EtherCAT Configurator«
 PROFIBUS (as logic bus) and EtherCAT (as motion bus)
– PROFIBUS configuration in the »PLC Designer«
– EtherCAT configuration in the »EtherCAT Configurator«

Note!
A mixed operation is only possible with industrial PCs which have two additional
slots for communcation cards. A mixed operation is not possible with the
"Command Station".
