[etherlab-users] Problem reading SII configuration from slave

[Andreas Stewering-Bone]

Hello Jesper,

It is always the same  I think.

TwinCAT works without reading the Slave Eeprom.

Our master tries to read out some information form the Eeprom.
Only a small amount of slave producer build up their Eeprom content 
properly.
Here the final end tag is missing.

You can do

- Backup the Eeprom via ethercat sii_read -p slaveid > file
- Build up a new Eeprom content in TwinCAT based on the XML Description.
- Save this file to the Slave via ethercat sii_write -p slaveid filename

Power down the bus, restart everything.

See if the message is gone.

Best regards

Andreas
