CAA Device Diagnostic - EtherCat Enable/Disable

[ChrisLarkin]

I'm currently testing the possibility of enabling/disabling EtherCat Slaves within PLC applicaton.

The functionality of enable/disable slave and reconfigure the bus seems to be available via CAA device Diagnostic library.

I've built a test program using the CodeSys provided example as a starter for 10 Link.

However I have the following issues.

• No PLC/Master node is ever found
• I cannot find the EtherCat IEC Object variable for my slave device.

My project can be provided on request.

This functionality is only useable for soft masters provided by CODESYS. See external documentation.

The ctrlX CORE - EtherCat master cannot be handled by this library.

Can this functionality be realised with the ctrlX-CORE EtherCat master in a different way?

We would have to talk about your expected/needed features. Please contact me directly with a more precise description what like to achieve, so we can have a discussion about it.
