[etherlab-users] Mailbox error using coopley accelnet slave

[Stephen Glow]

Hi Florian;

I'm familiar with the slave device in question, and believe that all the 
required SII sections are included.

In fact, the only sections of the SII that aren't included in this 
device are the bootstrap mailbox info (not yet supported) and the PDO 
information.

The reason for the lack of PDO information is that our PDOs are all 
variable.  For a device such as this I don't believe that the PDO 
information is mandatory.

Is it possible that the lack of PDO information is causing this problem?

Rgds,
Steve
