This page describes how to enable EtherCAT on the LLExec Windows Runtime.
- download "LogicLab Automation Suite" from our "Download" area on the public website and install it;
- choose "LLExec Win32: PLC runtime for Windows" component while installing
- download WinPcap library from https://www.winpcap.org/install/bin/WinPcap_4_1_3.exe 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 lines:
<plugin filename="LLXPlugin_EtherCAT.dll"> .... </plugin>
- 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 port attribute of the EtherCAT plugin:
<plugin filename="LLXPlugin_EtherCAT.dll"> <EtherCAT port="0" autorecovery="no"/> </plugin>
- In Windows Network Interfaces select the desired interface for EtherCAT and, in the properties pane, disable all the protocols. (See screenshots)
- restart LLExec for the normal operations.
