The Industrial Raspberry Pi Forum

I want to configure the KUNBUS EfterCAT Slave for boolean input/output. I tried to update the device description file (xml) but no luck.
The device description file I use is "Gateway_Component_EtherCAT_R02.xml" that I downloaded from KUNBUS.
If anybody has an example device description file (xml) for BOOL then I hope that person can post it to the forum. I also try to find the EtherCATInfo.xsd file used to buile the device description file.

Thanks Stefan

Hi Stefan,
unforunatelly it is not possible to change the ethercat slave information without changing the software on the module. The module supports only bytes, words and dwords currently.
So you have to use one byte for each bool value.
Kind regards
Mathias

Is there any plan for a software update to support boolean?

Thanks, Stefan

no, there is no such plan at the moment.
I will set it on the ToDo-list.
