[Etherlab-users] Regarding examples execution

[Andreas Stewering-Bone]

Dear Anson,

For most EtherCAT slaves you will not be able to set any output via
console. Reason is a PDO timeout, for Beckhoff slaves I think 500ms. If
there is no update in this time, the slave will go back to its failsafe
state.

You will have to write an c or cpp programm.


Best regards

Andreas
