    Hello
    Does the EtherCAT master read 0x1018 sub 1 to confirm VendorId? (EtherCAT master-->Startup Checking)
    I have an ESI file with vendor Id 755 and the device is actually 7595 but there is no problem. I need to confirm the slave is really 755

    thanks

    I'll answer my own question. It doesn't read 0x1018, but reads the value in the slave eeprom.
    This is accessed by

    <SlaveName>.VendorId

    Codesys makes it easier than you think!
