Via device scan

To insert devices in CODESYS via device scan, proceed as follows:

  1. In the device tree, open the context menu of the "EtherCAT_Master" object.
  2. Click the [Scan for devices...] menu item.
    • The "Scan devices" dialog window is displayed and a scan for devices on EtherCAT® is performed.
    • The devices found are displayed in the "Scan devices" dialog window. In this dialog, you can enter the name for devices and the device slot 1. To do so, double-click the respective object in the "Device name" column.

    INFORMATION

    Double axes are detected and inserted as single axes during the device scan. In the device scan dialog window, the type for a double axis must therefore be adjusted manually. To do so, click on the three points and select the double axis in the following dialog window.
  3. To apply all found devices, click [Copy all devices to project].
    • If there are logical devices in the SEWLogicalDevicePool that are not yet assigned to a device, the "Connect device" dialog window is displayed:
  4. Select a logical device from the list that you want to connect to this device and click [Add new device].
    • The logical device and the device added in CODESYS are connected.
    • The dialog window is automatically displayed again for all devices that have not yet been assigned to a device.
  5. Repeat these steps for all other devices.
