Switching the ethercatmaster state via OPC UA

[Open]

Hi @CodeShepherd ,

Do you know if it is possible to switch EtherCAT master status to OP using OPCUA Client?

I have tried using UA.TestClient unfortunately the datatype for the masterstate node datatype is ExtensionObject. 

Is it possible to decode OPCUA client datatype ExpansionObjects value to string and write OP and INIT value to masterstate to switch between EtherCAT OP and INIT?

Warmest regards,

Moved to own topic from "Switching the ethercatmaster between states".

Which version of the ctrlX OPC UA server app is used? And which version of UA.Testclient? 

Setting state is working fine in server version 2.04 using e.g. UaExpert version 1.7.1 540:

I am using ctrlX OPCUA Server v2.4.0 and UA.Test Client v2.4.1, the UA.Test Client does not decode the datatype ExtensionObject and cant see the OP and INIT options.

Using the UaExpert software is working now i can see the INIT and OP options.

We gonna check this internally. Thanks for bringing it up.
