Hi
I am running Codesys Control RTE on windows 10, PC is based on i7-7700 CPU.
I purchased the TP-LINK TG-3468 ethernet adapter but Iv couldn't install the driver for Ethercat support.
the chipset is Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller.
When I Uninstall, the driver reinstalls automatically. When I disable automatic install of drivers, I can't see it in the device manager and when I click "scan for hardware changes" it installs the regular driver again.
So I thought about buying the USB 3 - ethernet adapter.
Hi,
using usb is not supported on Control RTE - plug and play/hotconnet is not a real good option for realtime
I would recommend to buy a networkadapter which has a proved chipset to work with Control RTE.
Realtek 8139 (CmpRTL81x9Mpd)
Realtek RTL8139 (und kompatiblen) Ethernet-Contoller.
the 8100 und 8110 are compatible too.
Ok, but how do I install the drivers in Windows 10?
When I Uninstall the stock driver, the driver reinstalls automatically. When I disable automatic install of drivers, I can't see it in the device manager anymore and when I click "scan for hardware changes" it installs the regular driver again.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The only way I found to install the Codesys driver is to uninstall the stock driver and then click on "add legacy hardware". I then browsed to the Codesys CmpEt1000Mpd folder, but now I have the error "This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)" in the device manager.And there is a yellow warning sign near the device.
and when I click on "scan for hardware changes" I see the computer installed the regular driver (Intel Gigabit CT desktop adapter)

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
OK I managed to install the driver finally... only with group policy editor.
Now when I declare a softmotion project, everything looks fine except for the task that was created for the ethertcat master device.
the warning I have is "no POU defined for task - ethercat task"
although I can run the program with no problems.
I have another task for a regular application.
Is this warning important?
