NI Industrial Communications for EtherCAT EoE Support

[MikeMcKenzie]

Hi,

Checking the properties of my EtherCAT slave device in the LabVIEW project I can see that it supports ethernet over EtherCAT (EoE).

Is EoE supported by the NI EtherCAT master and if not are there any plans to support it in the future? I'm currently using LabVIEW 2016, but could upgrade the code to a higher version if necessary.

I found a post from 2012 suggesting that EoE was not supported by the NI EtherCAT master, I'm just checking to see if anything has changed since then.

Thanks

Unfortunately, EoE is still unsupported by NI EtherCAT masters. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news! If you have any questions about it feel free to ask.

Thanks for the response Francine. I thought this may have been the case, but I just wanted to double check.
