<div class="markdown_content"><p>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 <a href="https://www.keb.de/fileadmin/media/Manuals/ca/ma_ca_c6-io-ethercat-slave-20184882_mu_00.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://www.keb.de/fileadmin/media/Manuals/ca/ma_ca_c6-io-ethercat-slave-20184882_mu_00.pdf</a> etc... You will get the XML of the slave from the manufacturer.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hello,</p> <p>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?</p> <p>Best regards</p></div>
