I just had a look at your logs again: What's really strange is, that the
master seems to not even try to send the Sdo request in the first case
(no 'Processing Sdo request...'). In the second case

the request takes place immediately. Can you reproduce this in every case
when 'manually' requesting the Sdos with the ethercat tool?

If I understood you right, the only timeout problems happen in context
of Sdo requests, is this correct?
