Hi! The question is whether the EtherCAT-Master is using the Station-Alias Field internally to e.g. recognize slaves or anything else. If it does not use it, i will use it in my software.
Problem is the following: E.g. Running ethercat-bus as building control bus with 10 slaves. Now someone disconnects slave ID=3. Slave 4 is now 3, Slave 5 is now 4 and so on. The building has to remain fully functionally (except of the disconnected slave of course). I want to write a unique identifier into the station alias field of every registered slave so its not important at which position the slave is. => If the ethercat-master overrwrites the station alias field without my knowledge, i have to find another solution. greetings from Austria, Michael Florian Pose schrieb: > Hi, > > On Wed, Oct 15, 2008 at 04:27:16PM +0200, Michael Mangeng (V8tech) wrote: > >> I'm wondering whether i can use the 'Station Alias' freely or is it used >> by the Etherlab EtherCAT-Master internally? >> > > Sorry, I don't understand that question.
