download "LogicLab Automation Suite" from our "Download" area on the public website and install it;
download "LLExec (x86 Windows)" from our "Download" area on the public website and install it;
download WinPcap library from https://www.winpcap.org/install/default.htm and install it;
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;
enable the EtherCAT plugin by uncomment the line:
<plugin filename="LLXPlugin_EtherCAT.dll" params="0"/>
run LLExec runtime;
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
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"/>
restart LLExec for the normal operations.
