The latest update of KPA EtherCAT Master 2 for Windows, version 2.8.3704.0, has been released.
Since version 2.8.2904.0, this latest version brings the following improvements:
- Diagnostic registers performance improvement
Master initialization is now faster when diagnostic registers are enabled. The improvement is especially noticeable on large networks, where a set of diagnostic variables is created for every slave. Slave diagnostics can be viewed in the Process Image. For each slave the following values are available:- AL status code
- processing unit error counter
- PDI error counter
- process data and PDI watchdog counters
- valid data flag
- port counters: invalid frames, RX errors, forwarded RX errors and lost links
Diagnostic variable names and the meaning of the values are unchanged.
