MAXPOS 50/5 and CompactRIO

[NikolaiM]

Hi everyone,

I'm having a problem with running MAXPOS 50/5 and compactrio combination.

The ethercat is not working. I cannot put the maxpos in "Operational Mode". The error i get is hex 0x8005442c.

Thank you.

Hi NikolaiM, 

I looks like that error relates to the interaction between master and slave. 

To check what steps you've gone through, have you followed the following to add the ESI file?

To rule out the installed software being an issue, have you reformatted the NI CompactRIO and reinstalled the software? 

Thanks
