[etherlab-users] Beginner: how to control EL2252 output using ethercat cmd line tool

[Dr.-Ing. Wilhelm Hagemeister]

Hallo Jean-Pierre,

you need an application to exchange data with a terminal or to bring it
in the operational state. This can not be done with the command line
tool. See the examples in the EtherCat-Master repo.

Regards Wilhelm
