VS EtherCAT Master 2 for Windows x64, Linux x64, Linux Arm64 released

The latest iteration of the EtherCAT Master is now available. VS EtherCAT Master 2 for Windows x64, Linux x64, Linux Arm64 have been updated to version 2.6.4220.

Our team has been dedicated to improving the overall user experience since the launch of version 2.6.3502.

• Ports open delay setting
  From now on it is possible to set ports open delay via Master INI file. A new parameter topology.ports.open.delay.ms has been added to INI file. With this parameter you can set waiting time after which the command to open ports is sent when the port state changes.

• Manual closed ports To maintain the bus integrity, Master now supports the manual close mode for slave ports. To handle slave ports switching, the INI parameter topology.ports.manual.handling has been added.

• Multimaster improvements The following enchancements have been implemented to improve the Multimaster feature:

  • From now on the only configurations specified in Master INI file are accepted as valid Master configurations. If the configuration that is used to create a Master instance is not specified in the Masters parameter, new error code will be returned – 0X804A. Master instances with the same configuration names in INI file are not allowed to be created. A new error code - 0X804B, is added for that case.
  • Thread parameters values in INI file inherit values from the default KPAMaster configuration, if thread parameters are not set in current configuration.
