    Hello :)

    We are currently configuring a system with Codesys as SoftPLC on a Linux system and with Beckhoff terminals.

    I have already gained some experience with Codesys and also with TwinCat incl. TwinCAT Safety.

    What is new to me now is Codesys in conjunction with Beckhoff safety terminals. We are currently using an EL1918 & EL2904 here.
    I have been able to integrate both terminals into my project, but I don't know how to interconnect them so that they communicate. That's a bit easier with Twincat ^^

    Can any of you help me?

    I would also prefer a Codesys EtherCAT Safety training or webinar if anyone knows of one. Unfortunately I can't find such an event on the internet.

    Okay, the solution was so simple...

    In my case, you first have to add the EL1918 and then the EL2904... then the connection is made automatically.

    I probably had something else before and then added the EL1918... then it doesn't catch the connection :/
