Wrong default values in the EtherCAT module if operated without xml device description
Eliminated from:
EtherCAT E94AYCET FV 2.00 communication module
Behaviour of the new version?
Now the module properly works without an xml device description.
What is the reaction?
When the master reads out the EtherCAT functions of the module, the master receives wrong values. Hence, the master is not able to start the module afterwards.
When does the problem occur?
EtherCAT systems include the possibility for a master to communicate with a slave without an xml device description: The EtherCAT function reads out the information directly from the slave. During this process, the above-mentioned problem may occur. The problem does not occur if the xml device description is always used.
Which products are affected?
EtherCAT E94AYCET FV 1.01 communication module
Diagnostics options?
The above-described behaviour occurs if module indexes I-1C12 and I-1C13 display interchanged values.
Short-term measures/recommendations?
Always use the xml device description.
