Is it possible to use the ctrlX core as a kind of router for connecting and controlling a Ethercat device over UPC UA. What this means is that I have a third party Device with OPC UA server. I want to connect and control a Ethercat device. This can be any device, but lets say its a third party ethercat frequency converter. What I can Imagne is that with OPC UA I can write(&read) the datalayer. So I can write the drive enable and write a command Velocity. This should work or am I wrong ? This means I only need a ctrlX with Datalayer acces, UPC UA client app and the Ethercat App. There is no need for PLC app, Motion app or NodeRed or whatever while I write directly on the values. We want to test this, but it should be nice if some specialist can tell me if this is going to work.
