Zusammenfassung:The configuration of industrial networks is a very challenging task, especially when complex network structures with a large number of devices and stringent real-time constraints are used. This paper presents a software tool for efficient configuration of EtherCAT networks. The software tool has been tested for different scenarios on real network setup and the results were compared with those obtained using commercially available configuration tools.
