Troubleshooting
Check the structure of the hot connect group
The EP1111-0000 must be the first device in the hot connect group.
The first EtherCAT device in a hot connect group is marked with a red "HC" symbol.
If an EtherCAT device other than the EP1111-0000 is marked with a red "HC" symbol, proceed as follows:
- 1. Right-click on the EtherCAT device with the red "HC" symbol in the Solution Explorer.
- 2. Click on "Delete from Hotconnect group" in the context menu.
- 3. Create the hot connect group correctly. See chapter Creating a Hot Connect group.
Check the addressing method
- 1. Go to Solution Explorer and click on EP1111-0000.
- 2. Select the "Hot Connect" tab.
- 3. Click the "Configure" button.
- 4. Ensure that "Explicit Device Identification" is selected.
