VCD Scan Engine and EtherCAT allows Safety over EtherCAT (SoE) functions ?

[milanexis]

Hello Everyone,

On VeriStand, I would like to create an EtherCAT communications with various modules.

To do this, I use the VeriStand Custom Device 'Scan Engine and EtherCAT' which seems to work well.

Do you know if this VCD allows Safety over EtherCAT (SoE or FSoE) type functions ?

Functional Safety Over EtherCAT on NI Devices

At this time, NI-Industrial Communications for EtherCAT does not offer FSoE compliance and as such, we do not offer devices that are compliant with the FSoE protocol.

The SEEC custom device is built on top of NI-IndComm EtherCAT driver hence does not support FSoE as well.
