Yes, the only prerequisite should be the conformance to the EtherCAT specification. If you run into problems with a certain slave, post them here. This is usually a configuration issue. > Licencing: What does "Using the EtherCAT technology and brand is only > permitted in compliance with the industrial property and similar > rights of Beckhoff Automation GmbH."

Since the EtherCAT technology is patented, you'll have to get the permission of Beckhoff to use the hardware. But don't worry: Licenses are usually free of charge. -- Best regards, Florian Pose http://etherlab.org _______________________________________________ etherlab-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.etherlab.org/mailman/listinfo/etherlab-users
