We are going to build our first machine using Twincat 2 by requirements of our customer.
So we are going to use a pci network card FC9001-00010 to connect to an EK1100 with some EL2008, EL1008, EL3064, EL2262, and EL6002.
Also we are going to use an Festo servomotor, and a pair of IAI actuators, both controllers are Profinet. We were going to use a S7-1200, and got those parts before the customer decided to changing the hardware.
The main doubt here is if is it able to connect both controllers to the PC directly throught the FC9001 to use them in Twincat? Or if i need to use a device, like the EL6631-0010 to connect the controllers and be able to use them?
P.S. It is possible to change the fieldbus card in the Festo controller. And replace the MSEP with one with ethercat, but it will take some time and we are a little tight on time
I will appreciate any comments and recommendations.
