<p class="MsoNormal">Hi There,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m trying to setup one ethercat master with a very large number of ethercat slaves.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The first obstacle I’m thinking about is a very large amount of data sent over PDO each cycle, that will definitely exceed 1500 bytes.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In order to address this issue I want to understand if it is possible to send more than one frame each cycle?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Another method could be using jumbo frames. Does the ethercat master support that?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does anybody have practical experience with such a setup?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
