Eliminated from:PLC Designer V3.6
Behaviour of the new version:
The EtherCAT bus configuration is created correctly even for projects containing more than one controller.
What happens?
The EtherCAT bus configuration in the boot project does not comply with the configuration from the PLC Designer project.
In the logbook errors are reported when starting the bus.
When does the problem occur?
If a PLC Designer project contains two or more controllers, and if a boot project is created offline for all controllers, the boot project EtherCAT bus configuration is incorrect starting from the second controller.
Which products are concerned?
PLC Designer from V3.3
Possible diagnostics:
Check the error messages which are entered in the logbook at the start of the EtherCAT bus.
Short-term measures/recommendations:
Create the boot projects online in the controller.
Evaluation:
The functional restriction occurs if a PLC Designer project contains several controllers, and if the boot project for these controllers is created offline.
