Parsing of ESI files, *.xml files would probably be A good idea. I ran hardcoded now and at a first glance it seems source code below also do this. I have seen siitool parse xml file and it would probably not be to hard to reuse code from this tool.
As position out and encoder in plus a few other signals is the only thing I need I stay with hardcoded right now but at the time I get the need for other signals buying an Ethercat module and add parsing of esi file I will probably do.
