Configuring the runtime system for using EC-Master

Configuring the runtime system

  1. If logi.RTS is running on the Windows PC that is used as PLC, terminate logi.RTS.

  2. Open a command prompt on the Windows PC and change to sub-directory PLC of the logi.RTS installation directory.

  3. Open file RTSIO.cfg in any text editor and change its content as follows:

    Changes

    Example for the changed lines

    Search for line Load EtherCAT Master IO driver.
    Delete the comment character # in the lines below (up to and including the line LoadLibrary RTSS_ECM).
    # Load EtherCAT Master IO driver
    AddSymbol ECMIO.EniSource code://
    AddSymbol ECMIO.SyncTask code://
    AddSymbol ECMIO.IoCycleTime 2
    AddSymbol ECMIO.Debug off
    AddSymbol ECMIO.IP "10.0.0.2"
    LoadLibrary RTSS_ECM

    Search for line AddSymbol ECMIO.IP. Enter the IP-address of the reserved network interface card (if it is different than the already specified IP-address "10.0.0.2").
    Aliases, such as localhost, are not supported.

  4. Save the changed file RTSIO.cfg.

  5. Restart logi.RTS on the Windows PC.
