I have to setup a test environment in which different EtherCAT slaves need to be tested, each of them using a different topology (because of different port count). Is it possible to configure multiple master SW instances in CoDeSys acessing the same HW (port), activating only one of them at runtime? I want to avoid a complex bus topology including inactive/disabled slaves.

See attachment for better understanding...
Thanks for any reply,

Maybe this is relevant for you:

However, you can use managed ethernet switches, and their ports as virtual network adapter for your OS, using VLAN tagging...
