Connection between PC and an EtherCAT controller (with connected iX, iC, iDT network)

A PC Ethernet interface must be connected with the Ethernet input of the controller or be connected to the same network. (See documentation PDK_202975_A4-A5_Product_Description_de/en).

If several devices are linked via EtherCAT and connected to a controller, AIPEX PRO can access all of the devices connected to the bus via the controller. The controller must be configured as an EtherCAT master.
