[etherlab-users] WG: possible master problems

[Ian Norton]

Hi, Florian,

I'll do that right now. In fact I wouldn't mind betting its the same reason why the Festo piece of kit I also want to use isn't working too!

Your help has been great, thanks.

I'll be in touch with developments.

best regards
Ian

we're getting very close now.

The reason, why the slave won't go to OP is indeed, that the PDO sync
managers (2 and 3) can't be configured because of the missing sync
manager addresses in the SII. The sync manager category in the SII is
mandatory and the slave does not conform to the standard if it is
missing. The slave will moreover *not* pass the EtherCAT conformance
test tool. You should tell the vendor about it, you can send them the
link from my last posting. 

The FAQ entry I'm referencing via the link tells you, how you can add
the missing data by yourself.
