VS EtherCAT Master 2 for Windows released

The latest update of VS 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.
