I am using Codesys 3.5 SP16 Patch 4. My EtherCAT master is configured to connect to three slaves. But physically I have connected only one, but on download the EtherCAT master does not even run unless I disable the unconnected devices offline and then download again so that it can only see the device that is connected. Is there a way to ignore the unconnected devices and atleast connect to the devices that are present on the network?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

Have you made the optional devices optional?

Thank you so much for your help. That worked
