# Configuration with ET9000

Since version 2.11.0 of the EtherCAT® Configurator from Beckhoff explicitly setup whether the DC time shall be controlled by the EC-Master or not.

To create a DCM capable configuration, please accomplish the following steps.

1. Scan the EtherCAT® Bus
2. Select the EtherCAT® network adapter and press the button “Advanced Settings…”
   > ![ET9000 EtherCAT Configurator showing the Advanced Settings button for the selected EtherCAT network adapter](../Media/EC_Configurator1.png)
3. In the open dialog please select “Distributed Clocks” on the left column. Then de-select “Automatic DC Mode Selection” and select the option “DC Time controlled by TwinCAT Time (SubDevice Mode)”.
   > ![ET9000 Distributed Clocks Advanced Settings dialog with Automatic DC Mode Selection disabled and DC Time controlled by TwinCAT Time selected](../Media/EC_Configurator2.png)
4. Now the DC time can be controlled by the EC-Master.
   > #### NOTE
   > Don’t forget to enable DC for the SubDevices.
