We are pleased to announce the release of our KPA EtherCAT Master 2 for Xenomai 3.3 x64 version 2.7.1310.0.
Our team has been committed to the following improvements since the release of version 2.7.508.0.
- KPA EtherCAT Master 2 for Xenomai 3.3
From now on MDK2 supports Xenomai 3.3.1. - KPA Master Redundancy software solution
From now on MDK2 for generic Xenomai 3.3.1 x64 supports software solution for KPA Master Redundancy.
This solution does not require some specific HW module and only a regular Ethernet switch is used for connection Master and the bus. To switch from Secondary to Primary mode the software fast switch is used.
The following changes were made:- Added the samples 55_MasterRedundancy and 56_DynamicStringDemo demonstrating how to work with the Master Redundancy feature.
- Renamed the INI parameter master.secondary.timeoutbase to master.secondary.timeout.
- Removed the INI parameter master.secondary.timeoutfactor and related usage in source.
- Reviewed the description of KPA Master Redundancy in MDK Manual (updated the chapter Master Redundancy, added error codes description in Troubleshooting).
