EtherCAT app in Simulation

EtherCAT app in Simulation

Hello, 

we want to try out our future system in simulation mode so we want to simulate the full CtrlX with PLC code an I/O mapping. When I am trying to install the "EtherCAT Master" app I get the error "its not supported for "amd64" architecture" (In both acceleration Intel HAXM and HyperV). Is there a way to get the EtherCAT app in simulation mode or a other way than EtherCAT to get use of the I/O mapping with a CtrlX CORE Virtual?

thanks in advance

Can you tell us, which version you are using of ctrlX CORE firmware apps ans ctrlX WORKS?

The virtual EtherCat master is a feature in the prototype version 1.16 of the EtherCat app. The IOs can be configured then but will not be writeable at the moment.

Currently we are using

ctrlX Works: V1.12.7
EtherCat Master: V1.12.4

Sorry for late reply lost track of this topic.

Using EtherCatMaster app on the ctrlX COREvirtual is possible from version 1.16 on. But because of the missing master hardware, the data will not be updated (no communication to IOs).

Could you please guide me on how I can obtain this version of ctrlX CORE? Whether there's a download link I could use or a specific process I should follow, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your support and guidance. I look forward to your positive response and to being an active member of this innovative community.

Currently 1.20 would be the latest pre-release version that should be used. (See Release cycle of apps and engineering software). To get access to it follow the guide in the FAQ for ctrlX Store.
