System compatibility
KPA EtherCAT Studio is compatible with the Windows® system. While the preferred version is Windows® 10, the application will also work on XP, 7 and 8, but without support by Microsoft.
Slaves connected to a remote or local Master
The connection to a remote or a local Master is possible. When trying to attach to localhost, if the Master is not running, it is started automatically with default settings (host name: localhost; port number: 5000). In case of connecting to a remote Master, a host name and a port number should be specified. If either the host name or the port number is changed anytime, the connection is made automatically.
Change all data of master and slaves
The user can change the settings of Object dictionary, Process Image, Registers, Firmware (set filters, change visibility, remove unused data), resulting in an optimization of the master cycles corresponding to the data quantity on the bus.
