Software scans for networked industrial devices

TwinCat 2.10 has functions for scanning hardware connected to systems with high-speed, deterministic EtherCat, Profibus, CANopen, DeviceNet, SERCOS, real-time Ethernet, and Lightbus. Latest version provides faster, easier diagnostics by comparing networks to system configurations and identifying physically present hardware. It adds support for EtherCat-networked devices to its existing ability to support multiple fieldbus networks simultaneously and synchronize multiple deterministic networks. High-speed EtherCat devices can be now be added to systems while continuing to use other fieldbuses and I/O devices. V. 2.10 can set different update rates for different drives and provide fully functional programming of remote target systems. www.beckhoffautomation.com Beckhoff Automation LLC
