Hi,

I am afraid that you can't use the PXIe-8234 as the EtherCAT Master. Thanks!

Thanks for your reply.

There is an another option for us. based on this link (http://www.ni.com/product-documentation/54598/en/#toc2) we can use PXI-8234 in a Ring topology. actually I doubt this NI recommendation. 

Is it possible or Not?

 

I know that PXI-8234 is not mentioned in NI-Industrial Communications for EtherCAT® 19.0 Readme file (reference: http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/374786l.html)

Hi M.Javad,

 

Embedded Real-Time Controllers with three or more Ethernet ports can be used as a Ring topology. So, the PXI-8234 can be used in the Ring topology. 

 

Thanks!
