Hallo Jean-Pierre,
We currently don't have time to dig deep, but the ssi-content seems to
be buggy. Please let us know what's the suppliers opinion on this.
Thanks and regards
Wilhelm

I've attached the result of the "ethercat sii_read -p1 | od" command.
* Anything relevant here ?
Yes, I've contacted the salve supplier. My request has been forwarded to the
support team.
* I'm waiting for the answer.
Have a nice day

Some notes:
* The system is working perfectly on TwinCAT
TwinCAT relies on the XML-Files and the IgH Ethercat master relies on
the SSI content. If the content is wrong or data is missing it will not
work.
* As I got no PDOs from the ethercat tool, I coded one from the info I
got in TwinCAT
I found the info that the issue can be related to a wrong SII / EEPROM info and
tried to follow the info in the link below. Unfortunately did not help.
* https://etherlab.org/en/ethercat/faq.php
So my questions are:
* Is the problem really due to the missing/corrupted data in the
SII/EEPROM
Probably. Does "ethercat sii_read -p1 | od" work and if so could you
post the output of this command (assuming it is slave 1 you are
interested in)?
* If yes, how can I check that the binary file generated with TwinCAT is
correct ?
It most likely will be correct.
* Is there other way to update the SII
Some slaves simulate the SII content and can't be updated.
Any idea, suggestion, proposition are welcome 😊.
Most likely you will need to contact the supplier and ask for the
correction of the SII content. Suppliers sometimes tend to refuse to
cooperate and will say: "it works with TwinCat".
In that case the last step is to ask if the slave is checked against the
conformance test tool from ETG.
