[etherlab-users] problem in using new BeckHoff encoder EL5101

It works when I use function "ecrt_master_slave_config()" and
"ecrt_slave_config_pdos()" to overwrite the PDO with the old configuration
data. I misunderstand what you said before.

The master is standard release version. It does complain about "slave does
not support changing the pdo mapping!", but it reads encoder fine like you
said.

Now, we will stay with the standard released master, so please ignore our
previous modified master code in etherlab-users Digest, Vol 26, Issue 17,
even that modification works around with this problem.

BTW, when using TwinCat to read the PDOs from these troubled EL5101 modules,
the PDO data are wrong when using on-line data.


Thanks again for your help.
