Ok, these are quite new. It seems to be a bug in the slave
implementation. Just to be sure, please cross-check it with the newest
master version available.

If it shows the same behaviour, please tell Beckhoff about this.

BTW, you should probably be able to configure the slave with the 'old'
PDO configuration from the former slave versions. The master will
complain, because the PDO configuration will fail, but the process data
should be exchanged. Have a try.
