[etherlab-users] Problem with Beckhoff EL5152 Counter

[Matthias Liermann]

Hello,
I have problems trying to get the Beckhoff EL5152 counter module to work. I am using the Etherlab 2.1 Matlab library to generate the real time program. The problem is that the module would not enter the 'OP' state. (In the same model I use two more beckhoff i/o-modules that work fine.) The error flag 'E' for the EL5152 indicates that something went wrong during scanning or the module is not configured correctly. 

During configuration with Simulink, the EL515x subsystem offers the user to choose from a dropdown menu which module to select for configuration. This dropdown menu lists the EL5152 and the EL5152 rev. 0016. As you can see from the below output, the model that I use is the EL5152 rev. 0017. Is that likely the cause for my problem? If yes, what can I do to fix it? Rev. 0017 was released 2012/07. The same firmware version 1 is used for rev. 0016 and rev. 0017.
Thank you for any hint.
Matthias
