EtherCAT Test

Here is an example on how to enable EtherCAT for testing.

$ sudo depmod

$ sudo mkdir /etc/sysconfig

$ sudo cp /opt/etherlab/etc/sysconfig/ethercat /etc/sysconfig/ethercat

$ sudo gedit /etc/sysconfig/ethercat

Set MASTER0_​​DEVICE, DEVICE_​​MODULES(igb) and REBIND_​​NICS accordingly per NIC information

$ sudo /opt/etherlab/etc/init.d/ethercat stop

$ sudo /opt/etherlab/etc/init.d/ethercat start

$ sudo /opt/etherlab/bin/ethercat slaves

Then, the user can use their EtherCAT APP to test with EtherCAT devices.
