LLExec EtherCAT on Windows

This is a page to enable EtherCAT on the LLExec Windows Runtime.

1) install the last "LogicLab Automation Suite", from our "Download" area on the public website

2) install the last "LLExec (x86 Windows)", from our "Download" area on the public website

3) install WinPcap library, please download it from https://www.winpcap.org/install/default.htm

3) open the folder where the runtime is installed (tipically "C:\Program Files (x86)\Axel PC Tools\LLExec") and open the file LLExec.conf with a text editor
Please enable the EtherCAT plugin by uncomment the line

<plugin filename="LLXPlugin_EtherCAT.dll" params="0"/>

By default, the EtherCAT master will be enabled on the first network interface (params=0)

4) Run LLExec runtime and create an empty project with LogicLab.
In the "Resources" tab, enable EtherCAT master, then connect to the runtime and download.

5) In the log window of LLExec you will find many logs, you have to 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

Please choose the right network interface and write its numeric index in the file LLExec.conf,
by editing the params attribute for the EtherCAT plugin:

<plugin filename="LLXPlugin_EtherCAT.dll" params="2"/>

Then restart LLExec.
