Hello Jordi,

this is a unknown behavior...

please supply:
- Kernel version
- Ethercat version
- Network card
- Output of "ethercat master" (without running your sample program)
- Output of "ethercat slaves" (without running your sample program)
- Sample time of your sample program

try your sample program with only one module and at a slow sample rate
and with a different network adapter

Regards Wilhelm.
