<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hi there,</p> <p>Unable to get the option to select the "TwinCAT - Intel PCI Ethernet Adapater" to install in TwinCAT tool.

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hi Edwin,<br/> I was able to follow the following help on the <strong>cmpET1000</strong>:<br/> <a href="https://help.codesys.com/webapp/_cds_rtev3_adding_dynamic_components;product=core_codesys_control;version=3.5.14.0" rel="nofollow">https://help.codesys.com/webapp/_cds_rtev3_adding_dynamic_components;product=core_codesys_control;version=3.5.14.0</a></p> <p>and get it to show now as <strong>CoDeSys EtherExpress GBit PCI Ethernet Adapter</strong> and showing on PLC Configuration as <strong>Component is installed as Windows-driver</strong>.</p> <p>Will report in a few hours if I get the EtherCAT working with my application. Thanks.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>hi,<br/> as long you do not see the CODESYS driver installed in the windows device manager it will not work.<br/> Does Windows revert to the Twincat driver after reboot/bootup or is it more like the CODESYS cmpt1000 driver fails on installation?</p> <p>Regards<br/> Edwin</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hi Edwin,<br/> If I want to use the build in EtherCAT ports on the CX, what would be the proper step. By default Beckhoff installed the EtherCAT Intel PCI Ethernet Adapter driver in Windows.</p> <p>I have tried the following:<br/> <em>Tried removing it from Windows Device Manager but it right away reinstall.<br/> </em>Tried to update driver to cmpET1000Drv from the RTE install folder<br/> *Tried to just add cmpET1000Drv component on the RTE configuration. The log failed and say no driver installed.</p> <p>OS Right now is Windows 7 Embedded Standard. Thanks.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hi <br/> should work with cmpEt1000drv.</p> <p>Another option is to use EK1110 and connectec the drive to the backplane EtherCAT.</p> <p>Cheers<br/> Edwin</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hi there,<br/> I have a project on Beckhoff CX5140, the CX Internal side seems to be able to scan modules just fine (CmpCX5000Mpd). However, the <strong>EtherCAT Softmotion Master</strong> is unable to scan devices, showing Orange triangle.</p> <p>Diagnostics:<br/> <em> Tried uninstalling <strong>TwinCAT - Intel PCI Ethernet Adapter</strong> and install CmpEt1000Drv but unsuccessful<br/> </em> Tried creating another EtherCAT task for the second Master that will need to scan for Yaskawa Drives</p> <p>Any pointers from Codesys masters :) Thank you.</p></div>
