3rd party EtherCAT slave interoperability list

[TheCodeCaptain]

General information

• This is a list about tested EtherCAT slave devices on a ctrlX CORE
• The list is not complete and will be extended or corrected as new devices are tested.
• It is just a snapshot, with different versions of the device firmware/hardware or controller firmware the behavior can be different.
  
  

Did you test other devices, which are not listed or some entry is wrong? Let us know, you can drop me a private message.

Interoperability status

LIMITED:  only limited usage possible, see comment

OK:           no known problems

NO:           not functioning with ctrlX CORE EtherCAT Master
