[etherlab-users] Using EK1100 & EL2008 with DC

[Oguz Dilmac]

Hi Ralf,

I checked again with etherlab master. It looks my devices support it.

Then I checked from Beckoff site: I downloaded "EL20xx_EL2124en.chm" 
from, http://www.beckhoff.com/english.asp?download/elconfg.htm.
In the "Basic Communication" -> "Distributed Clock" section it suggests 
these devices support DC. But it is not so clear.

I also downloaded the EL2xxx.xml with Beckhoff_EtherCAT_XML.zip.
There is no <AssignActivate> section for EL2008. But it does have this 
section for some other devices.
I also checked EK1100 from the xml files. There is no <assignActivate> 
section for it either. But I remember that some users of the list using 
this device as the reference clock.

What am I missing?

Best regards,
(and selamlar :) )
Oguz.

By the way, here is the information I get from ethercat master:
When I type:
ethercat slaves -v

I get:
