Well I am in good luck then!<br><br>First let me tell you the difference:<br><br>In your method:<br><br>You get data of last night, issue commands and send the postman at night. Delay? 1 day<br>Our method, you get the data of today, issue commands and send the postman again today (another thread). Delay? As short as it can be. (If you remember, that is also something we wanted. Not to be restricted to sending the postman only once a day, but as soon as we need him).<br>
<br>About the hen and the egg, the egg was there first.<br><br>(This is going to be off topic so if others don't want to read it, you can ignore the rest of the message).<br><br>You want proof? Here it is:<br><br>Creatures evolve through mutation. Mutations happen in gametes. Gametes are then combined, producing a single cell that grows into a creature.<br>
<br>Therefore, the sequence the led to chickens being created had been something like this:<br><br>Creatures that is somehow similar to chicken ---- their baby ---> creature that resembles chicken<br>Creatures that resemble chicken ---- their baby ---> creature that looks similar chicken<br>
Creatures that look similar to chicken ---- their baby ---> creature that looks very much like chicken<br>Creatures that look very much like chicken ---- their baby ---> chicken<br><br>That is, there has once been two parents that aren't really classified as chickens, but their mutant baby (egg) was a chicken. From that chicken, more chickens were produced.<br>
<br>Therefore, first was the egg, then the hen.<br><br>Now will you do as you promised?<br><br>Shahbaz<br><br>P.S. If you are also wondering if 1kg of iron is lighter or 1kg of cotton, I can tell you 1kg of cotton is lighter because it has less density and therefore takes up more volume and the air applies more buoyant force to it (upwards), reducing its weight more than it reduces that of 1kg iron.<br>

</div>And then what??? What does the president do with the information??? Remember,<br>
there is no postman going out today any more. The reaction to today's events<br>
are in the newspaper tomorrow only. So what is the difference of your<br>
system??? *There is no difference!*<br>
<br>
The answer is still NO. EtherCAT does not know when the packet has arrived. So<br>
it will not be able to report that information to you! Except of having more<br>
hassle, your proposal does not change anything.<br>
<br>
What we are aguing about is: What came first, the hen or the egg?? If you can<br>
answer me that, then I will start to review the EtherCAT system, promise.<br>
<br>
