Hi
My system consists of a NI cRIO – 9082 which is acting as the EtherCAT Master. The cRIO is then connected to a BeckHoff EtherCAT coupler EK1100. Off this EK1100 I have multiple EtherCAT slaves which I can communicate to without problems (EL1008. EL2008, EL3008 and EL4008). However the EL7201 module fails to enter the ‘safe operational’ state. I believe the issue is related to distributed clocks on the EtherCAT slave. I have enabled the distributed clock (DE) on the module however I am unable to enable the enable the distributed clock on the Ethercat coupler (the option is greyed out).
I would be regretful is anyone can spot what I am doing wrong? or could give some advice on how to interface with a EL7201 module via LabVIEW?
Thanks
Dave B
