fRe: How to enable Ethercat on a NI 9053 crio

[Gryphon]

Hi All,

Any idea how to enable ethercat on a CRIO 9053.  On this page, it says that the 9053 supports ethercat.  

https://www.ni.com/en-au/support/documentation/compatibility/09/software-support-for-compactrio--com...

I have installed ethercat software which I had to do via a custom software install.  The standard package did not offer ethercat connectivity.  Using the custom software install worked fine.  I get that maybe with one ethernet connection you might have to go about configuring it slightly differently but I can't set the ethernet connection to ethercat even with the software installed, see the pic of it in MAX.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.  Thanks all 🙂

cheers

Peter

I noticed the link I put in for some reason does not exist.

Here is another link where it says the 905x controllers are supported on ethercat

Also the lookup page which I tried to reference can be accessed here

thanks for reading.
