[etherlab-users] Slave does not provide mailbox sync manager configurations

[Zhiyong Weng]

Hi Jeroen,

    The motor's SII size is 128 byte , seems cannot hold whole xml file.
 Maybe I need remove some lines.
    I will try with TwinCAT and update the progress.
    Thank you so much. Happy Lunar New Year!

Regards,
Max
