EtherCAT slaves cannot be accessed using EASY Starter/Engineer
What happens? The function restriction has the following effects on L-force Engineer and EASY Starter:
When scanning devices connected to the EtherCAT bus of the Lenze controller, unknown devices are inserted.
When scanning devices connected to the EtherCAT bus of the Lenze controller, all EtherCAT slaves until the first optional device are inserted.
EtherCAT slaves cannot be directly inserted in the EASY Starter or Engineer.
When does this behaviour occur? The above-described behaviour occurs if the concept of the "modular machine configuration" is used in a PLC project and devices connected to the EtherCAT bus of the controller are to be accessed via the controller using the L-force Engineer or EASY Starter.
Which products are affected? c300 controller V3.12 and higher 3200 C controller V3.10 and higher p300 panel controller V3.12 and higher p500 panel controller V3.10 and higher

EASY Starter
Short-term measures/recommendations: Use the PLC Designer or a different communication interface of the EtherCAT slave devices for parameterising/diagnosing these devices.
Evaluation: If the "modular machine configuration" (of the L_ETC_MMCController or L_ETC_MMCControllerBus function block) is used, devices connected to the EtherCAT of the controller cannot be parameterised/diagnosed via a Lenze controller using the L-force Engineer and EASY Starter.
