Hello everyone,
Currently I am doing a project that use a Beckhoff IPC as Real time targer and I want to use this as my EtherCAT Master. Previously I am using ADlink EU-series as EtherCAT slaves, because of the missing of XML(ESI) file, now I am using Beckhoff I/O device asEtherCAT slaves.
I follow all the instructions in the documentation and other resources, but now I am stuck at the EtherCAT Master detection.

From the website above, I faced the problem at Step 4: Configuring the Network in LabVIEW.
From what I know so far, there are two factor will make this happen:
1. The compatibility of IndCOM for EtherCAT and NI-RIO version, my IndCOM for EtherCAT is 19.0 and NI-RIO is 19.0, which is compatible;
2. Set the one of the Ethernet Adapter's Adapter Mode to EtherCAT.
I also tried restarting my labVIEW, reformat the real time target, changed ethernet cable... but the EtherCAT Master was still undetectable in the LabVIEW. Please tell me what should I do, thank you very much.
