Possible CoE parameter communication with codes lower than 4 bytes (eliminated from V1.3 onwards)

Eliminated from:
EMF 2192 communication module from firmware V1.3 onwards

Behaviour of the new version:
From firmware version 1.3 it is possible to access without restrictions codes whose user data area is lower than 4 bytes via the EtherCAT CoE parameter channel.



Which products are affected?
EMF 2192 communication module from firmware V1.0 onwards
EMF 2192 communication module from firmware V1.1 onwards

What happens?
The EtherCAT module rejects the job if CoE is used to access a code lower than 4 bytes.

When does the problem occur?
The problem only occurs with codes lower than 4 bytes.

Possible diagnostics?
The behaviour described before has occurred if the module rejects a CoE job and the code is lower than 4 bytes.

Short-term measures/recommendations?
None.

Evaluation:
Since the 8200 vector, 9300 and ECS devices have very few codes which are lower than 4 bytes the problem has not yet occurred at customer applications.
