Optris EtherCAT Interface for Pyrometers | Setup with TwinCAT & Beckhoff PLC

Discover how to integrate Optris pyrometers into an EtherCAT network using the new Optris EtherCAT interface. In this video, we guide you through the hardware installation of the EtherCAT interface kit and show you how to set up your Optris sensor using Beckhoff TwinCAT. You will learn how to:

• Connect the Optris EtherCAT interface hardware
• Import the Optris ESI file into TwinCAT
• Detect and configure the connected pyrometer • Access sensor parameters and real-time measurement values
• Adjust settings such as emissivity
• Transfer the configured project to a Beckhoff PLC

The Optris EtherCAT interface can be used with pyrometer sensors from the new CTi-Series as well as the CTratio series. For detailed information on hardware installation, TwinCAT setup and all available sensor parameters, please refer to the complete Optris documentation.
