Has anyone successfully used a Beckhoff EL6652-0010 Ethernet/IP slave terminal through an EK1101 EtherCAT coupler, or similar, and been able to set it up through Codesys? It seems there is no driver for it, and it can't be done?
The only option would be to use the Ethernet/IP capability of the controller directly with one of its ethernet ports and a Codesys Ethernet/IP adapter + module and routing it through EtherCAT by tunnelling it through via an EL6614 switchport?
Any advice would be appreciated.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
last year I got a EK1100 with EL6731 Profibus treminal runnig. But it was a lot of reverse engineering and thinkering in Codesys and TwinCAT to be done, to get it up, fulfilling my needs.
Good luck!

Hi,
I have the same problem.
Have you found a solution to this problem?

this is not supported - no config pages available for this.
Why not just use the EIP on your NIC of the plc?
we use successful for many years the KEB MFI terminal for Profinet, EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP,...
You'll need a EtherCAT Coupler as "head" from KEB, Kendrion or Berghof. It's all the same board inside: https://www.kebamerica.com/products/ethercat-bus-coupler/
Or the coupler with 16Di/Do integrated: https://www.kebamerica.com/products/ethercat-digital-io-module/
