Hi there

I am running Codesys ControlWinV3x64 (Patch 4) on my laptop for demonstration purposes but I am unable to get connection to the EtherCAT master and slave device.
This is the process that I have followed:
* Installed NPCap.
* Added the xml file for the SMC slave device to the Device Repository.
* Activated Control Win SysTray x64 and selected Start PLC.
* Scanned the network for the local device (my laptop).
* Added an EtherCAT master to the project and scanned the EtherCAT master for the Network and then selected the correct network.
* Selected "Scan for devices" to identify the connected I/O.
* Add the SMC EtherCAT slave manually because I was unable to scan it in.
* Selected "Scan for devices".

I have followed the steps described above but I can't scan in the EtherCAT slave or connect to it.

I thought this situation was unique to the EtherCAT slave but I have also tried the same for an EtherNet/IP slave using the Ethernet Adaptor and EtherNet/IP scanner and I am also unable to scan in the device or activate the EtherNet/IP network.

Any assistance will be appreciated.

please check the plclog for more information. sounds like NPCap does not work.
