Hi Florian,

I'm using the latest EtherCAT version found in etherlab.org/download section 
(ethercat-devel-r1284).

Screenshot that shows error message in Simulink is attached as well as output 
of EtherCATInfo() function in Matlab.

I also found some differences between actual xml file generated (that I sent 
in previous post) and the output of 'ethercat xml' command (attached as .txt 
file) in which the famous 'Invalid bit length 2' messages appear on lines 111 
and 119 (this is also shown when 'ethercat xml -p0 >> 
FB1111_EtherCATInfo.xml' command is used).

One more question: Why, for example, already included block device's xml file 
(such as EL1004) cannot be included in generic device block? Is there some 
kind of code that prevent this or is it something else (this try results in 
xml file being ignored by generic block)?

Regards,
