If you have worked with Hischer let me know as well. I had a talk with them and I have noted that their price is too high for evaluation. They are asking a time support cost for custom development and that too it will work for 2 hours in the Evaluation board. I am talking about the netX 90. So I have chosen EasyCAT as my best choice and ordered the the EasyCAT boards along with the test kit.
Hello, I'm following your tutorial but I'm having a problem when I scan boxes, the following message appears: "New device type found (EasyCat++ - 'EasyCat++') VendorId 0xcea ProductCode 0x1 RevisionNo 0x10000. Use available online description instead YES/NO" If I click yes a box is created but not with the same structure as in the video, I have two Input mappings, each one with four Digital Inputs, and an output mapping with 8 SubIndex and four Analog outputs. When I see the state of the variables, all stay at 0, even if I apply 5V in any input port. I was wondering if it is the xml file that I put in the EtherCAT folder, do I need to do something else? If I try to import a box, I can not use a xml file, I have to use a TwinCAT System Manager Export File type. Have you ever had this issue? Do you have a solution? Thank you
I am using only the EasyCAT on the bus. I used the xml that I found in your website, I already tried to remove it and use the online description but I have the same problem. I wonder if there is a problem in my shield and I need to reconfigure the EEPROM memory. I downloaded the tool to program the EEPROM from your website. I used the binary file EasyCAT_V_1_0.bin. Now the message is: "New device type found (EasyCat 32+32 - 'Generic 32 + 32 bytes ') VendorId 0x79a ProductCode 0xdefede RevisionNo 0x5a00. Use available online description instead. Using the online description works, now I have the box with outputs and inputs with bytes from 0 to 31. The issue now, is with Arduino, in the Serial Terminal, I can see that Arduino cannot initialize the shield (before reprogramming the EEPROM it worked well). What could be the reason?
Try to download from our website the new library (and example) and reprogram the Arduino board, check also that the jumper of the CS selection is on 9, that is the default for all the examples in the library.
Hello, yes You can buy the EasyCAT shield directly from our online shop: www.bausano.net/shop/en/ and yes is compatible with Codesys like you can see from others videos on our RUclips channel.
Can I get the Schematic of this EasyCAT shield or how to connect it with arduino nano .
Send me an email at info@bausano.net, and I will give You the schematic.
Is it possible to get data from i2c modules interfaced to Arduino such as - ads1115 ?
Yes, is possible, because the EasyCAT Shield use the SPI.
How can I see the data sent by etherCAT? For example, the configuration.
You should use a network packet analyzer like Wireshark and with the documentation of the protocol decode it, but is a very complicated task...

Then, how can I know the data that is received in the teacher? Then work with these data or variables
@@jonzabaleta2712 Sorry, I don't understand Your question ? Who is the teacher ?
hello, where can I find the easyCAT xml file?
You can download it from the links in the middle of this page: www.bausano.net/en/hardware/easycat.html
Hello
Do you have experience with netRAPID?
Have you ever worked with hilschler?
No, we never worked with this chip.

This is very strange, it seems that the xml file is not correct, try to remove it and use only the online descprition.
Try also with only the EasyCAT slave on the bus, because also the Vendor ID is not our Vendor ID that should be 0x79A.

Can I buy EasyCat shield for arduino ? EasyCat is supported by Codesys ?
Hello, yes You can buy the EasyCAT shield directly from our online shop: www.bausano.net/shop/en/
and yes is compatible with Codesys like you can see from others videos on our RUclips channel.
My slave is not switching OP from PREOP.
I suppose a configuration problem in the Master.
