That way master and clients work with synchronous timestamps http://www.ethercat.org/en/technology.html#3.3
XFC analog terminals do support DC e.g. http://beckhoff.com/EL3702/ question is, how to use DC with etherlab ;-) Bye Thorsten _______________________________________________ etherlab-users mailing list etherlab-users@etherlab.org http://lists.etherlab.org/mailman/listinfo/etherlab-users
