Gateway EtherCAT / Plugin Beckhoff

The pre-configured EtherCAT Asycube Gateway is used to communicate from a PLC or a robot with an Asycube through EtherCAT fieldbus. The PLC or the robot is the fieldbus master (client) and the Asycube Gateway is the fieldbus slave (server).

The Asycube Gateway can be used to integrate the Asycube with a Beckhoff PLC using the plugin described in the next pages or with any devices communicating over EtherCAT.

Important

Omron PLC does not support our Asycube EtherCAT Gateway. However, our Modbus TCP or TCP/IP communication solutions are fully compatible.

To make your integration easier, you will find on https://asyril.com/en/plugin/beckhoff-plugin-for-asycube-and-ethercat-gateway/ the electronic datasheet of the Gateway and some register files.
