EL6631 | PROFINET IO controller/device terminal

The PROFINET IO controller (master)/device (slave) terminal enables simple exchange of data between EtherCAT and PROFINET IO controllers or IO devices. In order to use the EL6631, a corresponding PROFINET IO controller or IO device licence is additionally required, which is available as a TwinCAT supplement.This software turns any PC-based Beckhoff control into a PROFINET IO controller or device.
