[etherlab-users] new beckhoff xml has DWORD variables

[Julian Stoev]

More from me:

I start to suspect my device EL5101 has different revision number from
the one defined in Etherlab.

Here is what I get from
ethercat slave -v

=== Slave 2 ===
State: OP
Flag: +
Identity:
 Vendor Id:       0x00000002
 Product code:    0x13ed3052
 Revision number: 0x03fb0000
 Serial number:   0x00000000

   Enable PDO Configuration: no
   Enable Upload at startup: no
   Enable SDO complete access: no
 Flags:
   Enable SafeOp: no
   Enable notLRW: no
 Current consumption: 130 mA


And here is what I see inside the mask of the Simulink block:

product_code = hex2dec('13ed3052');
revision_no = hex2dec('00010000');

I tried to change the Simulink code by breaking the library link and
editing the block to match the revision_no

product_code = hex2dec('13ed3052');
revision_no = hex2dec('03fb0000');


But after I press Apply for the mask, I get a message like this:

Error using => maskedit>ApplyMaskData at 780
Error reported by S-function 'ec_slave2' in 'in_out/ENC_0':

Variable context:
EtherCatInfo.Descriptions.Devices.Device.TxPdo(8).Entry(1)

Error determining data type of symbol 64: Unsigned data must be in the
range [1..32]

I am quite confused for now...
Am I on the right track?
