11 Configuring an EtherCAT system with XSOFT-CODESYS
The following sections provide examples showing how to connect a gate-
way, including the corresponding I/O slice modules, to an EtherCAN master.
Before commissioning an EATON PLC (e.g. XC303, XV300) with XSOFT-
CODESYS-3 programming software, the PLC needs to be connected to a
programming computer. To do this, the EATON PLC first needs to be con-
