I would like to carry out a data exchange between two plc via Ethercat. we do not want to use a network variable but rather a master slave type data exchange with XML parameter file. What would be the solutions to consider, such as creating an XML settings file?
Best regards
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
EtherCAT Slave requires a special ASIC or controller like the Infineon XMC4300/XMC4800. If your plc's are both only equipped with regular Ethernet-Ports and EtherCAT Masters, the only way to connect them is via a gateway. You can have a look at Hilscher, Beckhoff, Anybus X-Gateway, KEB MFI https://www.keb.de/fileadmin/media/Manuals/ca/ma_ca_c6-io-ethercat-slave-20184882_mu_00.pdf etc... You will get the XML of the slave from the manufacturer.
