Dear Support,

I have i950 wants to connect with Beckhoff EtherCAT coupler BK1120. There are 2 GSD files for BK1120.
1. BK1120 without MDP.(EtherCAT ESI Device Description (XML))
2. BK1120 with MDP. (EtherCAT BKxxx (MDP) configuration files)

When connecting the BK1120 with i950, scanned devices detects BK1120 without MDP from ESI No1 above. But the KL1408 & KL2408 not detect because they have ELxxxx IO type.

When manually insert BK1120 with MDP, the KL1xx8 is able to add manually also but the error shows and Install Missing Descriptions appears.

The questions;
1. Why the error occurs?
2. Can the i950 connect with KLxxxx IO type or not?

Regards,
Shafiq

Hi,
I guess you don't have the right xml file.
Download Beckhoff_EtherCAT_BKxxx_MDP.zip from https://download.beckhoff.com/download/configuration-files/io/ethercat/xml-device-description and install these in Device Repository.
