Hello,
In Codesys I can't find where to configure Ethercat Master VLAN tagging?
In Beckhoff in Infosys there is an attached image so you can see it...
I would like to try ethercat master with VLAN, to try to have several ethercat masters on a single ethernet port... I imagine that managed VLAN switches are also necessary?
Thanks.
Hi,
I am looking for exactly the same thing. I would think that using a layer 2/3 managed switch should work but I am not convinced. I would like to test it in order to see if it would be possible to run many Codesys Docker instances on a server and run only 1 ethernet cable from the server to a managed switch closer to the machines beeing controlled instead of having to run multiple long ethernet cables.
I was going to buy a managed switch in order to test it but I want to first make sure it is possible and I want to figure out exactly what kind of switch I would need.
Is this even possible?
I think this is a feature that would be very useful paired with "Codesys Virtual Control SL".
Thank you
👍

Thank you very much for answering,
I look forward to the example.
As soon as the example or documentation is available,
please let me know...
thank you.

I ordered a cheap managed switch and tested it as soon as I received the switch.
It works great!
I even went a bit further. As you can see in the screenshot, I created 2 Codesys containers. Each one having 2 fieldbuses. The first one has EtherCAT and EtherNet/IP and the second one has EtherCAT and Modbus/TCP. All going through the same ethernet port from the PC to the switch. The switch splits it up into 4 different networks.
The hardest part was to figure out how to configure the switch. @eschwellinger, thank you very much.

Hello,
the following store software may be required?
https://store.codesys.com/en/codesys-ethercat-master-sl.html
Please if anyone has this software installed can you tell me if it has VLAN tagging?

no we'll an example for it but need some time.
Thank you very much for answering,

see attached pdf - as an example configuration with a CISCO switch and two instance Virtual Control SL.

Hello yannickasselin,
What managed switch did you buy to test it?
The one I bought is a Mokerlink managed switch with 4x2.5G and 2x10G. It is a very generic switch. You can find it under many different brand names.
