    Hello,

    What used to work fine does not work anymore since I upgraded to 3.5.17.

    I installed 3.5.17 then re-installed the safety package 4.2.0.0.
    I also installed all the xml files from Beckhoff.

    Now my EL6900 is not recognized anymore and there also seems to be an issue with EL1904 and EL2904.

    What can I do to fix this?

    Thank you.

    The issue seems to be related to my new EL6900. Is it too recent?

    I used an older EL6900 and it seems to work. The new one I just bought for this project is not recognized!

    What can I do?

    Nervermind, it works anyway.

    I just don't understand why sometimes the scan works and somtimes it does not.
    Now the scan does not work on my old EL6900 but it works anyway...

    I am still having the same issue.
    Here's what the log says:

    This will be fixed with 4.3.0.0 Ethercat release.
