xuantran Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 (edited) Hello, I am using CK3M as a master to connect to a EtherCAT device. When I close the PowerPMAC IDE or disconnect the IDE from CK3M, the EtherCAT communication lost. Do you have any idea?

steve.milici Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 This would not be an expected behavior of the IDE. What is the IDE version? What is the PMAC FW version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onsys_JHLEE Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I have same issue. The symptoms of ECAT stopping often occurred when executing "ECAT RESET" in the IDE and then closing the IDE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve.milici Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 This would be expected. The “ecat reset” command kills and restarts the EtherCAT stack network interface application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xuantran Posted May 22, 2023 Author Share Posted May 22, 2023 Hi, I use IDE 4.6.0.14 and the CK3M firmware version is 2.6.1.0. By the way, it seems that I found how to fix it: After 'save' the project, I have to launch $$$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leandro.martins Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 (edited) It seems that the problem is solved with the release 2.7.1. The snippet of the release notes below: Quote 8. Prevented possibility that closing the IDE on the host computer could stop EtherCAT communications. (With IDE 4.6, if IDE issued ecat reset command and was closed before issuing a $$$ PMAC reset command, EtherCAT network communications could be terminated.)
