How to Scan EtherCAT network Devices

[Unit101]

Here is example logic to scan a ethercat network to see if all devices are present and working as expected on the network.

Note now it only works with Acontis type Master.

It does scan all device types including those that don't have COE (dumb IO).

 

I hope that soon etherlab version of PP firmware will have a command added that is now in Acontis version. It uses the command "EcatRegReadWrite()"

 

Thanks,
