Ethercat won't boot on PXI chassis

[craige]

I have a PXI chassis successfully running Industrial EtherCAT 2.0. I've retrieved the image using RTAD and imaged a new PXI chassis. Afterwards I went into MAX and verified that my primary ethernet and Master EtherCAT NICs were set correctly. Regardless, when I boot my newly imaged PXI the phase "NI-Industrial COmmunications for EtherCAT 2.0 started successfully" is never shown on the console out and my PXI returns ZERO discovered EtherCAT chasiss/channels. Why is this not booting??

Thanks,
Craig

Apparently PXI1 is using PXI-8143 Rev B hardware which is compatible with Industrial Communication EtherCAT V2.0  BUT PXI2 uses a PXI-8143 Rev D which is NOT compatible with version 2.0. My options are to either upgrade my EtherCAT driver to the latest version or NI is sending me a workaround. Will post the knowledgebase article once received.

Hi Craige,

I think this is the KB you are talking about.
