4. EtherCAT® Masters
In principle, all EtherCAT® masters with ENI are supported. EtherCAT® masters without ENI are currently not supported.
All tested EtherCAT® masters are listed below, as well as special EC-Monitor parameters that are necessary for operation.
4.1. Acontis EC-Master
Fully supported without any special parameter settings.
4.2. Beckhoff TwinCAT®
Fully supported without any special parameter settings.
4.3. CODESYS®
Supported. In some topologies, the actual number of cyclical commands on the bus differs from the configuration in the ENI. To fix this discrepancy, the EC-Monitor parameter EC_T_MONITOR_INIT_PARMS::bProcessRestructuredCyclicCmds
must be set to EC_TRUE
.
4.4. KPA EtherCAT® Master
Supported.
