Please right click on the “Device” icon then click add device.
The EtherCAT Master will be within the field buses icon under EtherCAT .

Please let me know if you have any other questions

Hi @Wilhelm_Koera ,

I wanted to add some additional information to my previous post. After adding the EtherCAT device to your project, there should be a “Scan For Devices…” option that will automatically search for EtherCAT couplers on your network.

Below is also a link to our iR EtherCAT user manual for your reference. We recommend reviewing Section 7, as it walks through the EtherCAT setup and configuration process in detail.

Thank you!
