[etherlab-users] Problems using Beckhoff EL3162 with Etherlab Simulink blockset - does not switch from PREOP to OP

[Richard Hacker]

Hi,

you may be using an old version of the slave. What version are you 
using? (ethercat slave -v -p?)

You will need to use the generic slave in this case. Run the following 
command
ethercat pdos -pX --skin etherlab
and save it in el3162.m. Then insert this function for "EtherCAT Slave 
Configuration struct".

Attached is a function I used for another slave. You may use it for 
comparison.
