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.
