Hello Community! In my project, I am using a ctrlX CORE with an EtherCAT Master App, XB_EC_12 bus couplers and XI110208 digital I/O modules. I use Node-Red to read and analyze data from Ethercat Master. At random times one or more of the bus couplers with their connected I/O modules get into the initialization state, and I get an error from EtherCat master, that Slaves are not in the Master state. The whole data acquisition stops, and I can solve the problem by restarting the ctrlX CORE, or manually switching the Ethercat Master App from initial status to operation status. (Plus info: All modules are permanently supplied, so they are not restarted in these situations.) My question would be is there any method in DataLayer at EtherCAT Master section, which is accessible from Node-Red (Data Layer Request) and lets me read the status of EtherCAT Master or can trigger from initialisation status to operation status? (Previously I was able to make read/write methods using Node-Red to OPC UA Client, maybe there is a solution also for this..) Thanks.
