Use of the EtherCAT CAN Gateway x750 increases the update time of the motor data (fixed with V4.0)
Corrected from:
PLC Designer V4.0
Response of the new version: The time required to update motor data is independent of the use of an EtherCAT-CAN Gateway x750.
What happens?
Updating the motor data (e.g. by changing the motor) in the 'Select motor from catalogue' dialogue takes up to 2.5 minutes. The PLC Designer interface flickers during the update.
When does the behaviour occur?
When using the EtherCAT-CAN gateway x750 in the PLC project, there is a significant time extension when updating the motor data (e.g. due to motor change). This affects all devices in the PLC project.
Which products are affected?
PLC Designer from V3.27
Short-term measures:
Currently there is no workaround for this behaviour.
Evaluation / recommendations:
If an EtherCAT-CAN Gateway x750 is used in the PLC project, the selection of a motor via the 'Select motor from catalogue' dialogue can take considerably longer.
