3.2.4. Creating the EtherCAT Network Configuration You register a R88D-KNA5L-ECT Servo Drive that operates as axis 0 on the EtherCAT network configuration. Additional Information To use digital I/O devices, analog I/O devices, and encoder input devices, add the devices using the same procedure. For data access to the devices that you added, register the device variables in the I/O Map. The examples for using GX-AD0471 Analog Input Terminal and GX-DA0271 Analog Output Terminal are provided as samples. Refer to the Sample File No. 4 PLCCoderDemoMC_ADDA.mdl and No. 5 PLCCoderDemoMC_ADDA.smc2 that are provided separately.
