Hi cc2go, I'm snkrieger's colleague. We're trying to install the firmware on the WAGO device but are running into some trouble: We can't find the WAGO device in the WAGO-supplied software "WAGO IO-Link Configurator" , neither through the CORE nor by plugging it into out ethernet port and giving it the adress we found through the CtrlX IO Engineering. (We might be in a dead-end here, the software is specified for the WAGO 750 series, but the device we're working on is 765-xxxx) For clarification: We have little idea of what we're doing, so we just assume that this here is the WAGO device's IP adress: A question that raised itself here is: Is the ip-address of the master correct? Is this self-assigned? Do we have to adjust this to our network where the CORE is connected? To answer your questions more precisely: We're using EtherCAT Master 1.12.4 and ctrlX IO 1.12.3 The ESI File we're using is V1_1_0_17 (Question: A "diag" file was also included in the download, but we couldn't install it like we did with the other one. Is there anything we need to do here?) The firmware we do not know, but we're trying to install this one here in case the pre-installed one is faulty / wrong. Another possible reason for the problem, we can imagine, has to do something with how we're supplying power to the device. Because of very long delivery time for the L-Coded power cable (most likely because of internal factors, not on WAGO's side) we're currently delivering power to it through a makeshift adapter. I'll not describe it any further, because it runs contrary to any electrical norms or safety procedures :^) , however we're only delivering power to 2 of the 4 pins, and since it's a B-Type IO-Link device, we could imagine that the lack of a voltage on the pins for the (unused) functions of the IO-Link ports keeps the device from entering the RUN status (despite showing the RUN LED) <<[See Edit at bottom]. So if our problem resolves itself miraculously once we plug in the real plug, we know what caused the trouble. Until then: How can we update the Firmware? We're looking through WAGO documentation right now to see if we can find something there Edit: The RUN LED on the WAGO device is blinking, which is according to the manual, the pre-run state. Hence the "error" in the initial posting. We're really, really hoping that it's just our little cable issue 😄 Regards
