This page describes how to enable EtherCAT on the LLExec Windows Runtime.

  1. download "LogicLab Automation Suite" from our "Download" area on the public website and install it;
  2. download "LLExec (x86 Windows)" from our "Download" area on the public website and install it;
  3. download WinPcap library from https://www.winpcap.org/install/default.htm and install it;
  4. open the folder where the runtime is installed (tipically "C:\Program Files (x86)\Axel PC Tools\LLExec") and then open the file LLExec.conf with a text editor;
  5. enable the EtherCAT plugin by uncomment the line:
    <plugin filename="LLXPlugin_EtherCAT.dll" params="0"/>
  6. run LLExec runtime;
  7. create an empty project with LogicLab;
  8. open the "Resources" tab of LogicLab and enable the EtherCAT master;
  9. connect to the runtime and download the code;
  10. in the log window of LLExec you will find several logs, search for the ones that begin with PCAP IF:, example:
    PCAP IF: 0 Network adapter 'TAP-Windows Adapter V9' on local host
    PCAP IF: 1 Network adapter 'Oracle' on local host
    PCAP IF: 2 Network adapter 'Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller' on local host
    PCAP IF: 3 Network adapter 'Microsoft' on local host
  11. choose the desired network interface and write its numeric index in the file LLExec.conf by editing the params attribute of the EtherCAT plugin:
    <plugin filename="LLXPlugin_EtherCAT.dll" params="2"/>
  12. restart LLExec for the normal operations.
