I've been trying to use EoE for communication between a Windows PC and an M753 drive from Control Technique. Despite following some online guides (https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/libs/EtherCATStack/4.3.0.0/Ethernet_over_EtherCAT/fld-Ethernet_over_EtherCAT.html) I haven’t had any success. Both are connected to a Debian device where RTE is running:
The PC is connected via the Ethernet port.
The drive is connected via the EtherCAT port.
I'm unable to ping the drive from my Windows PC.
Here is my configuration:
On Debian: (See attachments 1, 2, 3)
enp1s0 = Ethernet port
enp2s0 = EtherCAT port
tap2 = TAP device
IP forwarding and routes are both configured.
On Windows: (See attachments 4, 5)
On Codesys: (See attachments 6, 7)
Version:
Windows 11
Debian GNU/Linux 11
Codesys 3.5.17
Control for Linux SL 4.7.0
EtherCAT 4.4.0
With this configuration, I can ping the TAP device, but not the drive (See attachment 8).
Could someone explain how to properly configure all these settings?
I changed the name to tap2 due to network issues with Debian (I don't know why it changes the tap0 IP every time the program restarts).
Anyway, I think the tap name doesn't affect the connection.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Is there any way to have EoE working with Tap names different from tap0?
My PLC manufacturer uses Tap0 for the remote assistance service and it's not avvailable for other uses.

guess it should be tap0
Hi eschwellinger,
I changed the name to tap2 due to network issues with Debian (I don't know why it changes the tap0 IP every time the program restarts).
Anyway, I think the tap name doesn't affect the connection.

I think it must be tap0 for EOE

otherwise it will not work
I tried to change the name of the tap device to 'tap0,' but nothing changed. I don't think this is the problem.
use latest Ethcat version 4.6.0.0 and tap0
Is there any way to have EoE working with Tap names different from tap0?
My PLC manufacturer uses Tap0 for the remote assistance service and it's not avvailable for other uses.
You can select the tap name with this environment variable:
RTS_EOE_DEV=tap3
