Using Beckhoff EC Communication Terminals    

Beckhoff offers a variety of communication terminals to interface with other fieldbusses. These communication terminals can be used with the EtherCAT Acquisition Library.

The more complex terminals like a Profibus DP Master has to be coonfigured with TwinCAT. The configured terminal can then be used with the EtherCAT Acqisiton Library for LabVIEW

The following communication terminals can be used:

• RS232 / RS422/ RS485
• AS Interface Master
• IO Link Master
• Profinet IO Controller
• Profinet IRT Controller
• EtherNet/IP Slave
• Lightbus Master
• Profibus DP Master / Slave
• Interbus Slave
• CANopen Master / Slave
• DeviceNet Master / Slave
• DMX Master / Slave
