<div class="markdown_content"><p>I want to programmatically write the alias address to a new EtherCAT slave when I plug it into my IPC EtherCAT network. I am looking at the ReadWriteEEprom FB and see that one of the elements is "pbyData". which is the pointer to byte that is usually set to 2048 bytes. Since I am setting the alias address to the EEprom only (EEprom address 16#0012), I would assume that what I am writing is 2 bytes only. </p> <p>Does the pbyData have to be specified as ADR(myArray) where "myArray" is the 2 bytes of the alias address?</p> <p>How is the best way to set this element of the function block?</p> <p>Thanks in advance</p></div>
