No. It does not work. No change whatsoever.

And I am still not able to formulate a good meaningful question to
forward here to the mail list.

The best I can describe is that I get message like this:
Jun  4 14:09:04 democontrol kernel: Started RT timer at a rate of 1000us
Jun  4 14:09:04 democontrol kernel: Application tid 0 running at 1000us

application "in_out" with RT-AppCore.

Jun  4 14:09:04 democontrol kernel: EtherCAT WARNING: Slave 2 does not

Same PDO message was showing also for Slave 1, which is EL4132 while I
was using the EL4132v2 block in Simulink and disappeared when I
changed the option to the previous version in the block options. In
both cases the EL4132 analog output is working correctly independent
on the PDO warning.

But the encoder does not work.

FYI, I still do not see rc6 at http://etherlab.org/download/etherlab/.
