Posted 2 May 2016 Hello everybody, I'm new to Beckhoff and I couldn't find the solution yet, I hope someone can enlight me. I need to integrate two distinct and already functional systems: one is working with a Raspberry connected to other devices; the other one is a Bechoff unit getting sensors data. Now I need to get these data captured by the Beckhoff and send them to the Raspberry. Does someone know if I can access these sensors data in a Beckhoffs unit (it's a CX9020, but we can use a EK1100 as well...) by the Raspberry without using any other intermediate device (just the board and the unit)? Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 14 May 2016 I'm not so familiar with Raspberry, but if the OS of the Raspberry is Windows you can install TwinCAT software, (TwinCAT 2 or 3, I think TC2 is easier) and through the Ethernet port you get access to the data from EK1100 or CX9020.

Posted 14 May 2016 the simplest thing is to use Raspbery PI as EtherCat master and talk to EK1100 bus coupler with all I/O google is your friend: http://store.codesys.com/codesys-control-for-raspberry-pi-sl.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
