UP

All necessary settings for this module are already performed at Bronkhorst.

To follow next steps carefully is the quickest way to get this module operational in your own EtherCAT

environment.

Bit 0 of object 0x6425:01 "CO Control Byte" should be 1 to activate the PID controller (bit 0 = controller

on/off).

The PID controller is activated by default, but because this object is included in the process data (PDO),

the value 0 can be written by the EtherCAT master after entering the operational state.

See APPENDIX A: OBJECT DICTIONARY, description of 0x6425 "CO Control byte".

START

Install device description

file

Bronkhorst provides an EtherCAT device description file (xml format). This

file provides the master with information about the instrument to aid with

its configuration. The device description file should be placed in the

directory specified by the master. E.g. when using TwinCAT this could be

C:\TwinCAT\Io\EtherCAT.
