Will "Intel® I210IT PCI-E Gigabit LAN" controller work for EtherCAT?

Edwin,

can not get it working.

I have beckhoff TC2 installed , so first I removed the Twincat Intel PCI ethernet adapter and uninstalled TwinCat2
restart
then the intel 82579 comes up as networkadapter and I removed it.
at first could not find the right inf file , but found it on reinstall date in oem 4.
removed oem4.inf and oem4.pnf
restart

then it comes up with unindetified hardware and i go to the driver location.
but it indicates that no valid driver for this hardware is found.

i found the drivers in windows /system32/drivers. (CmpEt100drv.sys CmpEt1000Drv.sys)
that is different from the location that is in the documentation <rte-installation directory="">\cmpet1000 but are the right ones i think.</rte-installation>

Had to do system recovery at this point because ethernet was not working any more.

can you help me to get it working.

works. thanks.
the same file was already in the map . That one didn,t work.
Replaced it by the one you send and that worked.

Need RTE for distributed clock for the drives. The drives otherwise go in error because of the jitter if i use codesys control

Had to remove beckhoff twincat 2 otherwise it keeps installing the twincat intel DCI ethernet adapter.
What happens if I reinstall beckhoff twincat 2 or 3. It overwrites the driver again i think.
not i good idea, but I need twincat also to set basis parameters for the ax drives an other beckhoff devices.
Must use 2 pc,s one for codesys, one for beckhoff . any tips?

regards
Han

Hi,
check the Control RTE Manual.
And since 3.5SP12 there is Control RTE and Control Win in the online help:
https://help.codesys.com/webapp/_cds_rt ... n=3.5.12.0
you need to add the component in the RTE configuration.
That will solve it

Edwin

Edwin,

Ok, it is working now.
forgot the driver in the component manager.

thankx

(Windows device manager)
