Problem with EtherCAT disconnecting from the network and not being able to re-find the network

Hello.

Currently the EtherCAT master has to restart the servo in case of overcurrent or communication error. In this case, without restarting the PLC, the EtherCAT network cannot be reconnected and we can only re-address it by unplugging the cable.

Many customers can’t accept this problem. Is there a new solution for this reconnection problem?

Hello,
I am sorry but at the moment we do not support “hotplug”
This is a feature planned for upcoming versions but I cannot give you a date or timeline

best regards
