I have installed on my PC, the CtrlX-Core (Virtual) V1.20.0. The target is to use this sevice to test and evaluate fieldbus (EtherCat and Profinet) connections to our tightening controllers. This means that the CtrlX-Core (Virtual) would require MASTER functions. 

Question: is the PC (laptop) based CtrlX-Core (Virtual) capable of supporting the above mentioned fieldbus MASTER functions? If YES, which APP's must be installed?

Regards.

UPDATE: Following correspondance with collegues, the EtherCat Master App may be installed BUT data cannot be exchanged with external devices (offline project generation only).

Because of missing hardware that would be used as master to guaranty realtime (deterministic) communication it is not possible to use our EtherCat master app. Also keep in mind that the ctrlX COREvirtual must not be used in any productive environments/applications and automatically shuts down after 4h.

The only possibility would be to use softstacks like the CODESYS - Fieldbus Communication with restrictions in performance an deterministic. You will need at least ctrlX WORKS version 1.18 (see this thread).
